To interrupt the weird mail-bombing of "Ringo mail", I would like to talk
about something completely diffrent...

Anyone know when the "Fender Rhodes Mark I" and the "Fender Rhodes Mark
II" were manufactured?
Probably in the early 70's or in the end of the 60's, but I want the exact
years.
I have also heard that Frank Zappa was one of the first musicians to use
the Rhodes on a recording... but who is the very first user?

It's quite hard to find serious information about that lovely instrument
that almost every "Acidjazzer" are familiar with. I have visited the page
with the Rhodes technical manual, but I didn't find the answers to the
questions above.
