And an amp, after Dana Jr was cut and so Dana Sr took their gear back.

I read this as soon as it downloaded to my Kindle. It got lots of glowing reviews from people in the greater GD family, but I found it full of errors and pretty terrible writing. I had expected so much more and it seems like a lost opportunity as even between the time it was written and published, key people have passed away. I also expected a lot more pictures, since there are so many out there.

I think with a fact checker and a good editor (including photo editor), it could have been quite a bit better but as it stands, it's really a slapdash effort. I give it a C.

I wonder what the raw interviews are like. I would like to read those.

Likewise, I'm sure.

Most assuredly.

I also expected a lot more pictures, since there are so many out there.


Again, I concur.

I think with a fact checker and a good editor (including photo editor), it could have been quite a bit better but as it stands, it's really a slapdash effort. I give it a C.

I find your observation astute, and your grading extremely lenient........

I wonder what the raw interviews are like. I would like to read those.


Send them to me when you're done!
