Prog Rules
Yes, we are speaking of all those fabulous golden 70' ties prog bands and especially The Mighty Mellotron. Man I love this tank of an instrument.
When you have had all the crescendos , the bombast at its peek, then the Mellotron comes in and gives you shivers down your spine.
Don't forget Kansas.!!! And of course all of the newer prog bands
For the prog lovers, check this website.. http://www.progarchives.com . But once you've started, be heeded, addiction may occur.

I love Overnite Sensation and Apostrophy by Zappa. Grew up with those two. Check out The Enid. An English band ( started in the mid 70' ies) that makes very symphonic loaded, classically inspired music. First albums are the best. Got to stop, you got me started, gotta go to work again. ( and listen to the new Spocks Beard )

The first unit produced was the Mellotron Mark-I, an elegant piece of cabinetry, with red mahogany veneer and a highly polished finish. Approximately 55 were produced from 1962-63. Even the selector buttons had a mother-of-pearl appearance. Design improvements yielded the Mark-II, which was produced from 1964-67. About 250 were made: almost all Mark-I’s were upgraded to Mark-II specs. It was during this era that Mike Pinder entered the Mellotron picture, and worked at the factory for 18 months. Les Bradley had been Mike’s employer, and Mike himself had some innovative ideas.
Soon a new build !!!
i miss the free drinks the ladies sent my way night after night, one of the pitfalls to getting old, can't belt out songs in the bars .. at least I can still play with my trains. none of us did it like Rod Stewart now that cat had a great plan, music and trains at the same time.
looking for the wave you missed,
i could see it in your eyes.
i went to watch my son's band open for mungion last night at a place called durty [sic] nellie's in palatine. i think you prog fans would really like mungion. 4-piece band with four exemplary musicians. the guitar player is especially good. they're like a cross between phish and frank zappa. very good show.
caution my friend.

i was never fortunate enough to meet him, but i did enjoy covering a half dozen of his songs. whenever we did angel from montgomery we got a huge hand from all of the closet john prine fans.
