Well Doug, I don't see the joke. I used them the whole way West on the wagon train, every time the Indians attacked. When I turned those babies on with my hand crank generator and the recordings I made at Gettysberg a couple decades earlier, those poor guys would just turn tail and run. They thought a whole army was hiding in the wagons. That's howcome we made it to 'Frisco. Almost lost them in the big quake, but me and those speakers are real survivors. Were still here today!
