And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My grandmother had one in her dry goods store. For the record, she did not play an instrument. We kids just thought it was a neat step stool. The lower step flips up inside. T'would make a nice playing stool, would it not?
I've got a wall like that but it's full of racing propellers. They don't make music anymore tho.
ReplyDeleteAnyone still call them grunt boxes? I kinda like "Wall O' Grunt"....
ReplyDeleteThe guitars are great but that stool is neat. Just for playing?
