FRIDAY NIGHT'S FESTIVITIES
Jimmy and Joe's "Formicatron" was
set up and playin' nicely
Yes, the "Formicatron"
- an M400 encased in a layer of--yep--dark Formica with swirly bluish green
bits.
And Jimmy was all worried about the stout leaving a ring!
Hell, you can chop vegetables and knead dough on this one!
Quite unique.

Your Humble Scribe, Ken Leonard, arrived in Glenn
Mills late in the afternoon on Friday (driving from Boston), and then it
was over to the community building in Joe and Jimmy's housing area where
we had a get-together to catch up with our Mellotron friends, old and
new.
Cheers, Pierre--glad you could make it! |

After an evening of great food and a bit of stout (or was
that a bit of food and some great stout?), we packed it in.
Saturday would be a rather busy day...
