Re: [newmellotrongroup] Nearfest Apocalypse

Thanks Robert. I wish you could be there too. I will be taking three  
incredible Mellotrons with me. One is the unit that I am currently restoring and  
the other is the "Lazarus" machine that I completed in 2007 and improved in 
 2010. Thank you Mike Reina. They are both white. The third one is black 
and is  owned by Joe Colasante, and it is also a product of my shop.
 
There is one conspicuous Mellotron that will NOT be there. I can't tell you 
 which one because if I do, I'll never hear the end of it (Mel). It doesn't 
know  that it will not be attending.

Frank & Gino,


Frank - I'm happy to hear that you are recovering nicely and are  feeling 
much better.


I read about the incredible lineup of the 2012 Nearfest  Apocalypse 
festival and wish both of you guys and everyone else who  attends a great time !


I wish I could be there...


Robert

Gino,
 
I am actually in pretty fine shape these days. I belong to a gym, I weigh  
178 pounds (down from 239), I eat right and I am working on recovering my  
upper body strength. I no longer take, nor require blood pressure or  
cholesterol medication, my blood sugar, triglyceride levels, etc. are all  great. 
Except for a bit of arthritis, I feel fantastic. I think by June 21st,  when 
I leave for Bethlehem, I will be strong enough to schlep a M400 out from  my 
basement and carry it up to my truck by myself... not that I intend to do  
so.
 
However, I am grateful for your offer of help and not to prideful or  
stupid to accept and I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
 
Frank

It's old home week for me.  All of us record importers from the  70's make 
contact during the festival.  We feel like we actually did  something in our 
youths. 


I will be around if you need help.  I know you shouldn't be  humping gear.

I bought one too many Nearfest tickets.  Anyone need it ?  You'll have to 
sit next to me for thre days.   Row M in the middle  $368 ( I think)
