I have written Free Republic a $10.00 check which is in an envelope addressed and stamped and leaning against this monitor to go out to Fresno from Santa Fe in tomorrow's mail.
We built W-bins for a Persuasions concert in Cleveland in 1974. Cabinets containing two 18-inch JBL speakers, built of several sheets of three-quarter plywood, epoxied black, with casters, corners and concealed handles from J.H. Sessions Hardware, Bristol, Connecticut.
I got to shovel for the four a capella singers pre-concert, then, stoked, they went out and began with:
Boom boom boom-boom-boom
Jus' call on me, brother, when you need a hand,
We all need somebody to lean on.
I jus' might hav' a problem that you'll understand.
We all need somebody to lean on.
And Woody the Viking-like from our shop tipped me that if you lie on your back on one of these W-bins, the vibrations will blow the carbon out of your cylinders.
Here's to Free Republic, the somebody we all need to lean on.
Long may you wave.
