Thanks, Ron.  I stole Peabody from the John Prine song you spoke of.  Sad old stories about the miners.  I think people think of Kentucky, West Virginia and Penn. for the old coal mines, but they were here in Iowa and other mid-western states.  Ours was a dirty burning coal and I think there were not many clean white houses back in those days.

Nice job John, as a Kentuckian I can rete to it. As a kid my dad took my family out to see "the world's largest shovel" of mentioned in the Famous John Prine song, Paradise. In Eastern ky it was just as bad, entire mountain tops lost from "High Wall" mining. I heard some of my ex wife's family who were miners back in the 30's and 40's talk about standing in line at the mines hoping to be picked to work that day for a dollar. They often had to fight their way to the front of the line. I remember one of them saying he had worked many days with a broken nose or an eye swelled shut. Needless to say those old boys were a fealess bunch and the family was protected at any cost.

Thanks, James.  Still a huge amount of open pit coal coming out of Wyoming..  We are a few blocks from the Union  Pacific man line and see the full coal cars heading east and then coming back empty on the way west.

Thanks, Kale. It has a bass mag pup from Gitty.  I have to be careful with the amp settings on some songs or it can be too gritty.

Some gritty sounds coming from that LPG. Sounds fantastic.
