    Fix the light yourself, Peter, then go someplace quieter to jam.

    His amp is only 100w? Get with the program, Pete … you need 250 a side for that sweet, sweet, push-your-sphincter-into-your-small-intestine sound.

    So pick up the stupid light and stick it in the corner you lazy little twerp. Can’t you see intelligent adults are having a conversation here.

    Just the bulb or a solid fixture? After i had left, it took a ship spliting in half at the LILCO dock down the hill in Port Jeff to break the fixture in my childhood room where my folks still lived at that time. Of course, closer homes had windows and pipes break from the sound. The blasted thing stood up protruding from the harbor like an A without a cross bar for some time, i gather,mand LILCO had to build a new dock. The official report can still be found at uscg.mil. Faulty steel.

    Bfrg1513,If you look upPort Jefferson Martha R Ingramyou might find an image. I did not. Martha R Ingram was the ship’s name. She was less than a year out of construction. It happened in the early 1970s.

    For a long time there was another Martha in harbor, too. Martha’s Vineyard was the ferry between Port Jeff and Bridgeport after the Catskill. Martha had a wonderful fly deck (if memory for the term is still okay after so many decades landbound) on the same level as the car deck. It was a tiny deck with a couple of chairs not far above water and near the engine house. One summer Sterling Morrison of the Velvet Underground crewed on that Martha, which will be no surprise to anyone who knows that his loves were his family, guitar, and crewing mid-sized boats like ferries and tugs.
