(Book). For this follow-up to his popular A Desktop Reference of Hip Vintage Guitar Amps , Gerald Weber has compiled his articles and "Ask Gerald" columns that have appeared in Vintage Guitar from 1993 to 1996. As a special bonus, Ken Fischer's "Trainwreck Pages" from Vintage Guitar are also included. This book assumes that the reader has at least a working knowledge of tube guitar amplifiers, and it will be helpful and interesting whether or not guitarists intend to perform their own servicing.
Ken Bevan’s memoirs are a series of anecdotes and observations through the lens of a man raised in the chaos and corruption of the mid century south. The stories ooze with first hand retelling of an infamous interracial sex murder, the ubiquitous Klan, and a fire destroying his family home on the night his dad was killed. The events are extraordinary for sure. Even more extraordinary is how this pre-adolescent used life planning skills and goals (who even knew what that WAS? ) to plan a worthy life. He earned the rank of Eagle Scout in a record two years. Then, somehow, mentors and community members appeared as though from nowhere to help Ken on his path. That includes me, his wife. Ken visualized me when he was 11 years old. (I was 4). Thirteen years later he saw that girl (me). And he knew. His Christian values and humor emerge in the retelling of his law cases, his memories and in the relationships he reveals.

Sand Lake Township lies just south of Troy and east of Albany. This community was a center of water-powered industry in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

When the railway arrived, the township with its seven lakes and numerous hotels blossomed into a tourist destination. In Sand Lake you will find Dr. Smith Boughton as "Big Thunder" in the Anti-Rent Wars of the mid-1800s, coded messages issued from church pulpits for transporting slaves via the Underground Railroad, Uline's Infallible Remedy cure-all, the Park Pharmacy soda fountain manned by teenager (later comedian) Jerry Lewis, and Gov. Theodore Roosevelt at Brown's Crooked Lake House.
