RE: [newmellotrongroup] Birotron on ebay

2009-04-14 by Pomeroy Ranch

Rick is right - It's really hard to respond in a manner any more civilized
than Mike did when someone has thrown a left hook at your jaw..I, for one,
do appreciate a good piece of acerbic ridicule. Thanks, Mike

 

On the topic of playing a Birotron: I played Dave Kean's when he was still
in North Hollywood - that was long time ago, but I do not remember the
keyboard being particularly smooth, responsive or special about it - it's
hard to concentrate with all that whirring and clacking going on, let alone
trying to hear the music coming out of the amp..I much preferred Dave's Mark
II... 

 

Vance

 

Mike, you're avoiding the questions. When and where did you play one, and
who did it belong to. Your first email was pointed and filled with opinions.
Fair enough. But in his rebuttal, Dave asked fair questions. Your retort was
silly. Support the reasons for your opinion. I think that's reasonable.
There isn't one credible word in the statement below.

 

Frank

 

No, Frank. Dave's response was rude. He called Mike a liar, did he not? I
don't think you'd be too happy if someone you didn't know called you a liar.
If Dave wanted questions answered, he should have asked them in a civilized
manner. It's lucky that Mike is just so damn nice about these kinds of
things.

 

Or not.
