How about a band playing "American Tune " by Paul Simon, or "On The 4th Of July" by James Taylor, or "US Blues" by the good old Dead, or.... next subscriber... Happy 4th everybody Mike |

George, Must have pictures. After all is is only a myth if we can't see it. :-) By the way were there fireworks? Keith (On my way to Black Mountain for the street dance and fireworks.) |

Keith, Sorry that I missed your call. We left at 3:30 PM to catch the "4th of July party to benefit the beautification of West Asheville". We ended up in Black Mountain at around 8:00 PM for the fireworks... still easy to park when we arrived but it got quite busy after that. I wasn't sure you were heading there and didn't have your number with me Art (Message edited by artswork99 on July 04, 2009) |

Now thats gun control! To think the militias and rag tag soldiers used muzzle loaders back in the day, with little provisions and often without shoes. I recommend David McCoullough's 1776 as a great informative read. (I prefer the audio version). A ripping good tale! |

In unrelated news... There was a back-to-back Alembic sighting in Monterey at the city's Fourth extravaganza. The bass player for The Money Band had a nice Epic 5 string, which was followed by my Rogue. And the soundman claimed to have an '83 Distillate! |
