Phil–
Would you rather have them holding high power archery? Sling shots? I’ve got no objection to either. ALL children should be instructed on the safe handling of dangerous tools and equipment, including electrical appliances, cooking utilities and firearms.
The other thing to consider: The folks in the photo won’t have to wait for the local law enforcement to protect them, 20 minutes too late.

Dear Phil
The Eagle Abwehr is endeavouring to decipher the Occult Message behind this Picture
Thus far, various theories are being considered :
1. In support of the strange suggestion that an ARMED SOCIETY like the USA is a POLITE SOCIETY (as a US Army Major so spectacularly illustrated) IS THIS A QUIZ, asking readers to identify which Family Member has been shot by another Family, with bonus points for also identifying the Shooter
2. Is this a Posse being assembled to track down the Entertaining Antipodean Author of the Execrably Anti-Soviet Puns, so enjoyed by so many of Monsieur AerChie’s Discriminating Visitors
I remain your obedient servant etc

Herr Eagle–
Nice to hear from you again, even with your obvious attempt to bait for debate. Note that the deranged jihadist “Major” fired upon the unarmed, but was stopped by someone who was. By your logic, one should expect slaughter at every gun show.
Aside from that, which “Excrably Anti-Soviet Puns” were you referring to? I’ve made so many I can’t keep track. =)

Hey Bunk how are ya?!
I like the “tilted head” smile of the youngest gal in front.. lol..
What I find interesting about this photo… looking closely, everyone in this photo has a smile, except one.
The gal to the LEFT of the yougest. ( the little gal who just finished a nice
cup of Welches white grape juice.. :-)
Gal on Left, she appears to have ‘an ever so slight vague grimace’, She’s got her eyes open, kind of..all directions.. at once.. of something maybe near, something very real, that we all need to be aware of, the unfortunate reality.. of what exists, that we need be so vigilant of.
The picture certainly has a warm temperature.
I’d invite them over to my barbecue hell yea.

Dan Jo– Dang, this is almost like a reunion here.
When the lovely and gracious Mrs. Strutts and I bought our hovel, we invited her family for a housewarming party. One of her younger cousins was dating a gangbanger. She showed up with her buddy and his friend, both were obviously packing.
I’d never met them. They stood by the beer keg, shades on, leaning back, head bandanas, hands in pocket, total show.
I told them to help themselves to the beer. All they did was nod.
I was confident that if any bangers showed up that at least we had some bangers on our side.

Yeah Bunk! I’ve been busy making music, and I’ve been out n about.. It’s beautiful here in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. I have two bands that are in that are in the making, two totally different genres, which is good, it keeps it fresh for me. It feels great!!!! I tell ya’ Bunk, picking up that guitar, turn that amp on, some volume, some overdrive with a bit of reverb, a touch of delay….CURES MANY AN AILMENT! Some days when the big “Dee-pression” hits me hard, I hit it back
with a phat D minor jam, sending that depression out the window. Hmmm,, a bit off topic… That happens with me! I’m curious Bunk, is you Hovel in an urban area? And did you tell me that you play?
Peace Amigo!

Dan Jo– I’m in So.Cal, and yeah I do/did.
I can read music, played trumpet reasonably well in HiSkool (on a 1930′s vintage Velvetone). I learned basic acoustic guitar on my great grandfather’s 1911 harp guitar.
Gotta garage sale POS nylon acoustic that my stringhead roommate bolstered up for steel strings. I used to fake on it with friends over beers. Got a 1985 Rickenbacker bass that I messed with but never quite mastered.
Was in a few SuperBowl half-time bands for friends’ parties (we rehearsed over the phone) including Blind Melon Daiquiri and the Continental Breakfast All Star Blues Review, and Rufus and the SandBats.
Played rhythm guitar in a pickup band for a LDS school gym dance in the late 80′s. Since we didn’t practice I didn’t know the chord patterns for one of the songs so I turned the volume off and faked it. The lead guitarist covered.
Being left handed on right handed guitar is brutal, and I was never able to hold a pick. I shoulda flipped and restrung them to get a picking edge. I was never able to sing and play at the same time either, even if the singing was on a braced harmonica. Two sides of the brain in conflict, I guess.
I’m more comfortable with harmonica. I have a wood frame Hohner Echo Harp, a Hohner Chromatic, and a few smaller diachromatics scattered around. Ooh, and a Wayne Raney Talking Harmonica, too.

Hey Bunk, wow.. you did have some very nice vintage music makers aye?!
A 1911 ‘Harp’ guitar? I’m gonna look that up..
Yeah you shoulda’ done the Jimmy Hendrix thing with the right hand guitar “left-a-sized”.. but..hehe..I do remember faking a few times, when I was in my highschool jazz band, at the time I was living in TX. We were running 1st place in all-state jazz band competition..PLaying to our charts, well our three songs were Ol’ Man River, Body and Soul and Pressure Cooker (Which was a fast 210, Sammy Nestico tune) I did ok, I could go along the chords pretty good, but not the individual notes. When in competition there were a several aspects which broke down the scoring, such as: the amount of time to get on stage set and ready- play and get off, how well we played, and the one I had a tough time with “Sight Reading” which the band would get a song we’ve never played and everyone would get their chart per instrument and had 5 minutes to go over with our director and then play it. Well, it was time for, “Dan, you know what to do, right?” yup, turn the volumn all the way down and strum with a lotta’ feel..hahaha.. One time at another contest the sight reading didnt have a chart for the guitarist, I said nice and loud “Awe thats too bad I’m well prepared” we got back to the bandroom and I got an award for “best acting”.. I think it was a milk crate… hehe
I cant sing and play either Bunk, and I love the names of your bands,
actually, Rufus and the SandBats sounds familiar!…. thats great
One last thing- A Wayne Raney Talking Harmonica, ?
Cheers Bunk ☮
I would have like to have heard Blind Melon Daiquiri and the Continental Breakfast All Star Blues Review..

DanJo– Here’s a link to what my harp guitar looks like. It’s got a wide neck, and because of the huge sounding board and two mouths, produces a surprising volume for an acoustic. The idea was to pluck one of the 5 un-fretted bass strings while playing on the 6-string neck.
As for the Wayne Raney Talking Harmonica, it dates to 1946. It’s a cheap harmonica with flared edges on the outside of the case. It came with a red plastic horn that slipped over the flared edges so that when a beginner played it, by covering the end of the horn with the right hand, you got a wah-wah effect without having to “cup” the harmonica. Somewhere I have the original cardboard shipping box and instructions.

P.S. I posted Clarence Gatemouth Brown’s version of “Pressure Cooker” here.
