“Come and meet my son in law, David Nixon, will you, and the Mellotron.”

I just love the interplay between these guys. Eric Robinson’s feigned ignorance. And David’s flourish at the end in time to the music is sublime.

Mellotron: recommended for Viennese Waltzes and music to accompany scenes from Thunderbirds.

I could watch this video all day.
