Shubba Shubba Shubba!

And about Tampa, FL, I was supposed to play there 17 months ago in this outfit.  This is a still from our swan song on Late Night with Conan O’Brien from January 10, 2008.  How odd that a network television performance (NBC) would be the last time the five of us would appear together on stage.  Long story.  This time, I (and you, I hope) will have some actual fun with Adam and Dave.  We’ll bring extra guitar strings and everything.

Tour dates here.  Great record here.

The black and white Fender Precision bass guitar is still for sale.  E-mail me at bigdaddyfreedom@yahoo.com and we’ll talk.

Doesn’t look like much, does it?

The hill is The Little Round Top in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  The picture is taken from atop a boulder in what is now known as The Devil’s Den.

On Thursday, July 2nd, 1863, General James Longstreet’s Corps of The Army of Northern Virginia, Confederate States of America, attempted to capture it for the purposes of placing artillery on it’s crest to fire North (left) onto the United States Army.  Had they succeeded, General George Gordon Meade and the U.S. Army would have likely retreated.  It would have been yet another in a series of humiliating defeats at the hands of Robert E. Lee and The Army of Northern Virginia.  It could have meant the end of the American Civil War.  It could have meant two Americas: one slave and one free.

However, minutes before the Confederate advance, an alert Union General, Gouverneur K. Warren of the 5th Army Corps, scaled the hill, noted the Confederate assault preparations, and summoned sufficient troops to defend it.  An unspeakable bloodbath that claimed the lives of thousands ensued, but the Union line held.
