Fender twin reverb II for saleI'm moving across the country and don't want to risk damaging this beautiful amp.I bought this vintage amp a few months ago and only played out with it a few times. It's perfect for any size gig and has casters for easy transport.This amp was played mostly in church gigs by the previous owner and has been well taken care of. The tubes were replaced this year. The price also includes a custom made vinyl cover.Here's what Wikipedia had to say:In 1982 the Twin Reverb II was introduced to compete with Mesa Boogie's very successful products; it had an output rating of 105 watts and a return to Blackface era cosmetics albeit with a different, channel-switching cascading gain circuit with a more modern mid-range voicing and without the 'traditional' vibrato. ... 4824438

Keyboard Lessoms!This post is specifically designed for people who have always had a love of music, and maybe even took a few piano lessons in the past...but have never been able to put it all together enough to have fun with the instrument. Or you're a singer who wants to expand your musical knowledge to accompany yourself. I'm a longtime professional musician who can teach you basic music theory, how chords work together...you could say a musical roadmap! Then we can progress to chord inversions that make your chords sound stronger. And don't forget the bass lines...your left hand is the bass...putting the bottom on the song. Take one lesson, and I'll bet you'll start to understand what I'm saying. My fee is $20.00 a lesson...usually about an hour. Wes Schaefer 727.686.9164 ... 9085768

Remember Lee Iacocca, the
man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He's
now 82 years old and has a new book, 'Where Have All The Leaders
Gone?'.
Lee Iacocca Says:
'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening?
Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody
murder! We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship
of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing
us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less
build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits
around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'Stay the
course..'
Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not
the darn, 'Titanic'. I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the
bums out!'
You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker,
and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize
this country anymore.
The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the
guys in handcuffs. While we're fiddling in Iraq, the Middle East
is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press
is waving 'pom-poms' instead of asking hard questions. That's
not the promise of the ' America ' my parents and yours traveled
across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?
I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if
you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to
have. The Biggest 'C' is Crisis! (Iacocca elaborates on nine
C's of leadership, with crisis being the first.)
Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of
crisis. It's easy to sit there with your feet up on the desk
and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when
you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing
to lead when your world comes tumbling down.
On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than
any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide
us out of the ashes A hell of a mess, so here's where we stand.
We're immersed in a bloody war with no plan for winning and no
plan for leaving.
We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the country.
We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia, while our once-great
companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs.
Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent
energy policy. Our schools are in trouble.
Our borders are like sieves.
The middle class is being squeezed every which way.
These are times that cry out for leadership.
But when you look around, you've got to ask: 'Where have all
the leaders gone?' Where are the curious, creative communicators?
Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence,
and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think
you get the point.
Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security
than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away
our shampoo?
We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy,
and all we know how to do is react to things that have already
happened.
Name me one leader who emerged from the crisis of Hurricane Katrina.
Congress has yet to spend a single day evaluating the response
to the hurricane or demanding accountability for the decisions
that were made in the crucial hours after the storm.
Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it doesn't
happen again. Now, that's just crazy. Storms happen. Deal with
it.. Make a plan. Figure out what you're going to do the next
time.
Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how
we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would
have believed that there could ever be a time when 'The Big Three'
referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and
more important, what are we going to do about it?
Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying
down the debit, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the
health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are
the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the
middle class dry.
I have news for the gang in Congress. We didn't elect you to
sit on your butts and do nothing and remain silent while our
democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is being replaced
with mediocrity. What is everybody so afraid of? That someone
on Fox News will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't
you guys show some spine for a change?
Had Enough? Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and
doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out
because I have hope - I believe in America . In my lifetime,
I've had the privilege of living through some of America
's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst
crises: The 'Great Depression,' 'World War II,' the 'Korean
War,' the 'Kennedy Assassination,' the 'Vietnam War,' the 1970's
oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years culminating with
9/11..
If I've learned one thing, it's this: 'You don't get anywhere
by standing on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to take
action. Whether it's building a better car or building a better
future for our children, we all have a role to play... That's
the challenge I'm raising in this book. It's a "Call to
Action" for people who, like me, believe in America'. It's
not too late, but it's getting pretty close. So let's shake off
the crap and go to work. Let's tell 'em all we've had 'enough.'
It's our country, folks, and it's our future. Our future is at
stake!!
