Great idea Scott, I've bookmarked the new site, thanks for taking the time to put it on line for us.
No problem. It was a bit frustrating to see Keenspace come alive about an hour after I got it up, tho. Still, now that the HTML work is done, I can pop stuff up there, whenever I notice that the main site is down.
The Johnny Cash tune was far different than I expected. Whodda thunk that the transition from coal burning to diesel train engines would have been such a big to-do that would inspire a group of people to come out and see it. Well, they were rural Texans, so ... ;-P
Glad you liked it. I got that one from James Bruner of "Zig Zag The Story" fame a while back (quite a while back, I think?) I'm not sure why, but I just like it a lot! The snare beat reminds me of train wheels. That and maybe that the theme is still "Gosh! Look! New neat big technology!" combined with the sense of wonder of a 6 year old.
Heh, the other day, I drove my brother's International Scout (with diesel engine) and it sounded like a steam engine! Sure loud enough!
I wonder if anyone else here is old enough to have put a coin on the rails...?
I did it once or twice, but they sure weren't steam trains! I didn't dare do do it with more than a penny because I was told a nickel could de-rail a train!
Much later, I remember being shown a penny smashed into a quarter so that the copper was surrounded by (whatever metal is in quarters). I was very envious.
But, as I said, it wasn't a steam train.
On the other hand, I guess I'm not old enough for them to have actually been copper pennies!
