Re: [Harp-L] amp comparison

Yes, it sounded like that amp was local and maybe Chris Richards' or 
whatever. He didn't fly with it I'm sure, that much should be obvious to 
anyone given the chance of damage, the cost of baggage these days, yada 
yada. I don't think you were saying why did he fly with it, just asking 
why didn't he use a local Cruncher. As you know, the logistics for these 
events can be complicated, maybe someone offered up the twin or he said 
one or the other, you can't be too picky in these cases, even Charlie.

It also sounds like you're trying to poke the bear (again), Rick.  I 
don't understand the vendetta, but whatever, maybe it's personal.

I think my Cruncher might be 41 lbs.
