Lynn, there is an incredible story behind this piece, and it has taken me a few weeks to ~~make it up~~ uh, I mean recall the events exactly as they unfolded.. so go grab some popcorn, maybe a cold adult beverage, and settle in while I spin this wondrous tale that's sure to be a wing dang doodle.

Ready?

Okay..

Once upon a time I bought it on Craigslist.

The end.

Heh.. actually the old guy I got it from was moving to Texas and didn't want to take this along. He said it followed him home from Quartzsite many years ago. Indirectly I bought it from the Australians down there

I Wanna Rock!!!
