When I was allot younger, I had an old Slingerland Tenor banjo. I gave it to a Nun who was one of my sons teacher. She really loved to play that thing....more talent than I had. DShock...you want thunderstorms, come here to S.E. Michigan. July is the murder month. I lost a horse a couple of years ago to lightning...I have tremendous respect for dark skies. Lightning cost me five grand so far for a new well. Insurance doesn't cover everything.
