I had just finished teaching a Karate Class at my Dad's Dojo here in NYC when I got a call from home telling me the news.

I was in shock. I drove home and popped a cassette tape into my recorder and began recording the radio coverage on what was then WNEW FM. I still have that tape and listen to ...

"Where was she for instance when John Lennon got murdered, on Mars perhaps?"

She was 12 years old. LOL! Probably never even HEARD of John Lennon, sad to say.

Ringo's drums for the Ed Sullivan show were provided by Manny's Music in NYC. They got the model right, but the color wrong.

Hi all.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is in the new VOX AC30 amps?

I know that one has the Warfedale Speakers, and the other the Blue Celestions.

One sells for Approx. $999.00, the other for $1599.00

Why is one so much more expensive than the other? Is there really that big a ...

Dane:

I'd say Thank GOD I had a snare drum to "hide" behind! I had the same experience in HS Marching Band back in the 70's. If I knew THEN what I know NOW!
