My 20 year old son brought a few friends over tonight. One of the guys peeked into the music room and said "That's not a Mellotron...Is it?". Turns out his favorite band is King Crimson, especially the Red album. I gave him a demo and played Starless. All he could say was WOW. Nice to meet a young guy who has an appreciation for the thing.

Had a similar experience with my daughter's boyfriend. Seems like a good bloke.

Similar thing here in Indy. My son, 16 years old. went to see Dream Theater and Dweezil Zappa in Chicago last night. One of the bands, Big Elf, had staged an M400 with Moog LP on top. Also a Memotron and Roland RE-201 sitting on top the B3. Instead of receiving texts saying, "Dad arrived safely", I receive things like, "Tron on stage, you should have come" John #911 ________________________________
