Tim and all

How PC we have all become. Don't get me wrong, when I worked campgrounds
(Park Ranger) I was called a number of interesting "expletives deleted" for
enforcing the noise regulations. I took particular joy in shutting down
motor home generators before the industry forced the department to alter the
noise laws to exclude those vibrasonic drains on the human spirit.

There are times though... like when the wind is up and screaming through the
rigging, the hull is pounding against the chop, and Happy Camper groans and
creaks like she is being ripped apart under my feet... that the shriek of a
tortured Fender (up around 11 on the power amp) (and a matching shriek in my
throat) is just what my consciousness needs to get it's wings!!!

BTW, "Voodoo Child" does it for me.
