Re: Mellotron!
Maybe the fragility of the Mellotron protected it from the abuse other keyboards got. A case of kid gloves or it'll let you down right when you need it on tour.
I got the impression Emerson was trying to keep up with what Pete Townshend did to his guitars. Conspicuous consumption? When I was at an ELP gig, the speakers got it too.
Emerson said that those weren't just ordinarily nasty knives, they were Hitler Youth ones which Lemmy had given him.
