I'm working right now - 06:00a.m. until 06:00p.m. Not much independence in that, but happy 4th to all anyway.

A Happy 4th to you all.

I just finished reading "1776" by David McCoulough. Fantastic book... history that reads like a military thriller.... well, almost. Actually even better.

Its sobering to think that if George Washington has owned a Rickenbacker 360 and a VOX AC30 amp, he would likely never have wanted to leave his Mount Vernon home and the so-called "British Invasion" in the 1960's would have been called something else altogether.

Aint history grand?

That is sobering, Kent...I'll have one of what you're having!

Make mine a single, though...I may have to operate some heavy machinery later...

Single it is .... no man has ever survived a double of THIS stuff.

I read another book on the American Revolution on the way back from NYC the other day (yes, a VERY long flight) about the battle of Bunker Hill (which took place on Breed's Hill, the next hill over from Bunker Hill. Go figger).

Fascinating stuffs. If British generals Gage and Howe hadn't been so bloody hesitant all the time we'd all still be pausing in the afternoon for tea and crumpets.

But what do you expect? ... its a little known footnote of history that Gage and Howe played Mexican made Fender guitars while George Washington (who didn't become commanding general until after Bunker Hill) played a Jetglo Ric 360.
