heck tim,

they could just drop 'em off at my place any friday night. with my crew 
they'd
be vintage by monday morning...(latest casualty- twin reverb suffers broken
"on" bulb as my buddy walks into amp while talking on phone...so cool! and 
how
is it guitar & mike stands magically lose the ability to counter the 
effects
of gravity whenever we play past 11pm? it took one of these guys about six
months of repeated prodding before the purpose of the "standby" switch on 
my
amps was finally understood and systematically implemented. do i need new
friends or what?)
