Well spotted.
It is Gandhi playing on Mellotron #1517 which is signed by engineer Jeffrey Timweathers who "accidently" erased an entire albums worth of Moody Blues Mellotron noodling and poetry back in 1971, working title tapes & turds. It took a lot of phonecalls and investigation to track him down in the english countryside but I wanted to show him my gratitude and respect.

Many people in the English countryside should be tracked down -- and  
soon. It really is a national disgrace the way they wander about.

Very true Rick...And just imagine the amount of rare and unreleased Moody Blues recordings just waiting to be erased or thrown in the garbage...
