[Amps] "I gotta tell this"

[Will Matney]

Larry,

Really I just laughed this off, not nothing for me to worry myself about. There's more important things like helping folks on here who need it. You know, they always did say the Beverly Hillbillies were who gave us "Appalachain Americans" a bad rap. What a lot don't know is that a lot of our factory workers, in a huge amount of the large cities, came from the poor appalachain states, and are still there working or retired. They've made the steel for this country, the cars they drive, and the very weapons our country uses for war. If people in those large cities looked back on their heritage, they might find a few pop up. Actually, not just the appalachain states, but the southern states too. There's been several mass migrations since 1900 of our folks leaving for work, and some staying. Anyhow, on to the amp topics.

Best,

Will
