Yep, I takes a lot of humility to admit ownership of a Matador!<br /><br />Collectors still like to scoop them up. I don't get it as the same sounds are now readily available in samplers. <br /><br />I openly admit to my old fart status but, I like the music gear that technology has given us now. Carrying around those Hammonds in the old days probably contributed to my back being in the condition it's in now!<br /><br />I never made it far enough in the ranks of the music biz to afford a roadie!<br /><br />The Hammond I use now weights a few ounces....the weight of a CD the virtual instrument software is on. Those Mellotrons weren't exactly light either!Scottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121811949825846208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-59885671714790929752011-12-03T21:56:01.649-08:002011-12-03T21:56:01.649-08:00Scotty: their occasional keyboard player in earlie...Scotty: their occasional keyboard player in earlier versions was Robert Fripp, on Mellotron. In some ways, I miss hearing the Mellotron played in performance.<br /><br />BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-52349753381015530232011-12-03T06:42:43.939-08:002011-12-03T06:42:43.939-08:00Liked everything these guys did. Being a keyboard ...Liked everything these guys did. Being a keyboard player myself and showing my bias, I always thought a keyboard player would have been a plus....when I hear their music I can hear the keyboard chops that I think needed to be there......in my head, I hear a B-3 backin' them up!<br /><br />But, of course, they did just fine without me!! ;-)Scottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121811949825846208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-69911311724422213822011-12-02T18:37:54.639-08:002011-12-02T18:37:54.639-08:00Open up the video fully, having already inserted y...Open up the video fully, having already inserted your headphones.
