Thanks Mike !

Mike ....thanks for posting that !  That first piece you played was very similar to a piece I wrote and recorded around '74 but was never published, which makes it really erie. The choir was always my favorite sound....its amazing what a group of unpaid high school kids can do !!!
    Obviously there were several different choirs on your second piece, and I think I might be able to tell which was which. But Im curious...were you playing the BiroTron(I think not), or the Mellotron with the BT choir tapes?
