Thanks for the website, I've bookmarked it and will definately explore it.

I'm into chapter 2 of the Nimitz At War book and man is it good. The author was a professor in the History Dept. of the U.S. Naval Academy and brings you into the world of the 1920s -1940s. I'm being introduced in new ways to the military leaders of the time such as Admiral E.J. King, General MacArthur, Admiral "Bull" Halsey, General George Patton, General George Marshall, Dwight Eisenhower, Admiral Harold Stark, Admiral Husband Kimmel and many others.

Interestingliy enough, Nimitz was into classical music. He had a private collection on the old, brittle, shellac discs.

This is definately a good read so far, maps, photos, war records, etc.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
