The Mellotron Group

I received a call from a man in Michigan who wanted to sell his mint 1956 B3 and Leslie. He lost his job and was being forced to sell his prized musical possessions. I wanted to help him out but I could not afford the freight to California. I was able to refer a buyer to him and am happy that he now has a few thousand dollars to help him and his family through these difficult times.

 

The point being is that we will probably be seeing much more of this. Most economists are predicting a deep recession that will last at least another year. Some are even predicting a depression. 

 

I have stopped purchasing any musical instruments and hope that the time will not come when I have to sell them to feed my family. May God help our friends who are not so fortunate.

Speaking of food: there's always room for Mellotrons!
