Re: Fleming Valves...

Do you frequent guitar and music stores? You say tube, they say valve. You say stop, and I say go, go, go. Fluidics was the basis of calling it a valve.

Re: Fleming Valves...

Before they were called tubes, they were called valves. Vacuum tube guitar amplifier enthusiasts still call them valves, even the young ones. I'm pretty sure that tubes is correct. De Forest invented the triode and reference to it is as a "tube". Valves for tubes is like spanner in exchange for wre...

BTW, any roundabout in West Bloomfield Twp. automatically belongs on the list.

I'm hard pressed to think of a place where the drivers are more discourteous!!!
Note that many have "friendship circle" stickers on their cars. The friendship circle, appears to be an association for bad drivers.

Meanwhile...the singer for Humble Pie is trying to get me to go to the gig at the Token. None of the people currently in the band are original members... Is it a tribute band?
