In the immediate aftermath of WWII, the founders of Teisco would get their guitar bodies from a milkman who built instruments on the side. By the 1960s they were responsible for a large chunk of the Japanese import market, coming up with wilder designs as they went along.

Universe: “Super Fuzz or Big Muff?”Mudhoney: “Both!”What else would you expect from a band that titled their mischievously visceral '88 debut EP after both pedals (Superfuzz Bigmuff)?Formed in the late '80s by guitarists Mark Arm and Steve Turner after the dissolution of their band Green River (which included future Mother Love Bone and Pearl Jam cofounders Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard), Mudhoney long ago solidified themselves as the Seattle scene's big brothers and tightest pack. Through their 11 LPs, five EPs, and six live albums, Mudhoney has routinely diversified and further defined their eccentric brand of raucous, aggressive, unfiltered rock 'n' roll. Possibly more impressive than the band's wide influence and devoted authenticity is the foursome's bond. Drummer Dan Peters and bassist Matt Lukin (also a founding member of the Melvins) were the rhythmic bedrock for Arm and Turner's exploding-M-80 tones since the beginning. (Arm and Turner have been friends since high school and have been playing off each other since then.) But Lukin left the band in 2001 because tour life became too much, and Guy Maddison has been thundering ever since. To see a group's career that's pushing past 35 years and only have one member swap is as inspirational as it is baffling. How?!“We like each other a lot. We get along. We love what we're doing,” remarks Arm. “Why stop, even if no one gives a shit?”Friendship matters to Arm and Turner, but gear isn't a concern unless it points them in one direction—east. More specifically, toward Detroit, Michigan. And even more specifically, to the Stooges. Both namecheck the livewire band and their raw power several times in our Rig Rundown. However, in a 2018 interview with Premier Guitar, they acknowledged regenerating sounds that echo influences from Neil Young and the Byrds to Devo and the Dead Kennedys. But after chasing “I-Wanna-Be-Your-Dog” sizzle, what else leads them to the gear they use? Has that mentality changed since the late '80s?“If you think about the aesthetics of where we come from—garage punk, and punk rock in general—a lot of it was made with cheap gear, and a lot of it was reclaiming gear that guitarists had kind of dismissed as garbage. Like the Mustang. That was my ultimate guitar back when I was a kid, but it was poo-pooed when I finally got one. I could get them for $150. The Danelectro and Silvertone amps were kind of high-rated garbage when we were getting into them. We based a lot of our sound on cheap gear, so it makes sense to me that I still buy the cheap gear,” concluded Turner.They're still pragmatic about their setups, preferring equipment that's familiar and reliable. Where they chase the dragon is in stompboxes. Turner trusts the Big Muff (his favorite iteration is from the mid-'80s), while Arm's torrid tone burns with a Super Fuzz clone. However, both have additional hot-sauce stompboxes and other effects on their pedalboards that are being auditioned trial by fire.Hours before Mudhoney's headlining set at Nashville's Basement East, Arm and Turner brought PG's Chris Kies onstage to catalog their setups. Turner started the party by talking about a pair of guitars—his battle-tested late-'60s Guild Starfire IV and a recently-acquired Fender Gold...

I then followed with that I was not in a position to afford something like that, and someone mentioned Baxendale Conversions. I found that Scott Baxendale takes old Kay, Harmony, Silvertone, and Regal acoustics from the 1940s-1960s, and converts them into instruments that are scarily similar to same era Gibson and Martins. In today's video, I lay out what Scott Baxendale does to these vintage budget instruments to make them take flight with much greater volume, tonal range, and much better playability. In the video, I am playing a 1950s Kay, that has been converted into an 8-string mandocello, but I hope to find a 6-string conversion soon.Gear used in this video:2021 Baxendale Mandocello conversion of a 1950s Kay acoustic.#askzac #guitartech #telecasterSupport the show

On this episode we chat with Texas guitar legend Chris Duarte. Born in San Antonio, the young Duarte became interested in music after seeing "Fiddler on the Roof" on TV. He initially wanted to play violin and then clarinet, but circumstances led him to playing his brother's guitar where he discovered an innate talent to pick up tunes by ear. At age 14 Chris obtained his first guitar, a Supro, and became further immersed in music. He began exploring different genres and learning jazz standards (in the once "illegal" Real Book) by musical idols such as John Coltrane and Miles Davis. In 1979, he moved to Austin and purchased a 1963 Fender Stratocaster. Soon after, he found himself gravitating towards the blues stylings of players like Howlin' Wolf and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Durate continued to develop his chops and gained a reputation as a road dog as he constantly played, both with his own band and as a sideman, widening his touring circuit throughout Texas and the south. As the Chris Duarte Group's popularity continued to grow, Chris found himself in a bidding war between labels, but ultimately CDG's first record, 1994's Texas Sugar Strat Magik featuring John Jordan on bass and Brannen Temple on drums, was released via Silvertone Records and became a highly acclaimed success among fans and critics alike. Chris quickly gained national recognition and won"Best New Talent" in Guitar Player's 1995 Reader's Poll. He finished fourth in the magazine's "Best Blues Guitarist" category behind some of his biggest blues influences: Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, and B.B. King. His second album, Tailspin Headwhack (1997) followed with the hit Cleopatra, but that would be the last record with Silvertone. Since then Chris has recorded a wide variety of albums with various producers including the legendary Mike Varney of Shrapnel Records. He has traveled the U.S. and the world many times over playing everything from small clubs to headlining major music festivals and nearly everything in between. After moving to Atlanta, GA for several years, Chris Duarte has returned Austin where he plays with girlfriend Beth Lee (and the Breakups) as well as consistently touring with his trio. The current incarnation of CDG primarily features Dustin Sargent on bass and John McKnight on drums, and the band has a new album release ready, recored with producer Dennis Herring of their TSSM days. Although genuinely humble and somewhat soft spoken, Duarte's stage performance and guitar playing are mesmerizing and out of this world. He has remained recognizable in his sound even though he has crossed many genres, and he gives every record and performance 100%. In many interviews, he has stated “music must evolve.” With such a vast catalog of recordings, there are no two shows alike. Every set list is different, and each song may be offered distinctly based on the feel of a show and the audience. We are thrilled he is playing ESP's Skunk Manhattan's Austin-based festival Skunkfest for 2022 and looking forward to seeing what he might pull from the vault.

"Reverent" isn't exactly a word that you usually associate with Only Three lads. But that's the best word to describe this week's episode, as we pay tribute to some of the dearly departed heroes of the O3L era. They may be gone...but they will never be forgotten.   We talk a lot about James Calvin Wilsey. It's a name you may not recognize, but we guarantee you've heard him play guitar. Jimmy started his professional career as the bassist in San Francisco punk legends The Avengers before joining forces in Silvertone with Chris Isaak. Yeah, that's Jimmy who wrote and played the haunting lead guitar lines in "Wicked Game."   Jimmy's life, career and tragic death are chronicled in Wicked Game: The True Story of Guitarist James Calvin Wilsey, penned by our Third Lad this week, the esteemed Michael Goldberg. Michael has been a respected and renowned music journalist since the '70s, serving as Senior Writer for Rolling Stone magazine for a decade, as well as writing for Creem, NME, Musician, and other notable music publications. In 1994, he founded the first online music magazine, Addicted to Noise, which garnered him a spot on Newsweek's 1995 list of the "50 People Who Matter Most on the Internet."   For more information on Wicked Game, visit https://hozacrecords.com. A portion of the proceeds go to Jimmy Wilsey's teenage son Waylon.   Also, on this week's O3L Spotlight, we feature music by TV Party!

Michael Goldberg's new book: “Wicked Game: The True Story of Guitarist James Calvin Wilsey” goes deep into the life of a brilliant but doomed unsung genius who we lost too soon. Jimmy wasn't just a great and unique guitarist, but a music pioneer. Michael met Jimmy Wilsey in 1982 at a Silvertone gig and a few years later interviewed him in 1987.  Not long after that, they became friends. His book tells the story of a charming, incredibly talented guy who ultimately succumbed to the dark side of addiction. It's riveting, funny at times, heartbreaking and tragic, but fascinating – and hard to put down.The book is available through HoZac and Michael is donating a very generous portion of the profits to Jimmy Wilsey's teenage son, Waylon.

Enjoy An Album with Liam Withnail & Christopher Macarthur-Boyd

2006 was a bad year for Justin Vernon. His band broke up, his girlfriend left him, and he came down with a serious bout of mononucleosis hepatitis - a severe form of herpes that leaves your lungs inflamed. He spent the winter getting steamboats in his father's cabin in rural Winsconsin, where he wrote almost all of ‘For Emma, Forever Ago' on a laptop with a 1960s Silvertone guitar. It was a very successful record. Four years later he was an arena-level folk-star, collaborating with Kanye West and Nicki Minaj on the greatest hip-hop album of the 21st century, ‘My Dark Beautiful Twisted Fantasy'. For Emma, Forever Ago is the 461st Greatest Album of All Time, according to Rolling Stone magazine. This week, Christopher and Liam listened to it, and now they're going to talk about it. Featured topics include: liquid acid, powerful loneliness, the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, Zane Lowe, the origins of modern hipsterdom and auto-tuned Appalachian folk choirs. All that plus Secret Posho, on this week's episode of Enjoy An Album. Enjoy!

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this our 206th episode, our guest is Howie Statland. Here is how he describes himself and his store, Rivington Guitars: “This year we are celebrating 23 years of business – 23 years of finding guitar players the guitar of their dreams. Located at 73 E. 4th St., our store is right in the heart of the East Village of Manhattan. We like to keep our prices low and our customers delighted. We buy, sell, trade and repair all vintage guitars, amps, keyboards and more. Our expert repair shop features quick, reasonable prices and reliable service. Since we opened in 1998, Rivington Guitars has come to be known as 'The Best Little Guitar Store in New York City,' and this is a reputation we have earned. Rivington Guitars specializes in vintage guitars, and we know vintage guitars. It's what we do best. We have over 350 vintage guitars in stock at all times -- Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, Martin, Rickenbacker, Silvertone and Harmony as well as many other more unusual brands. Owner and proprietor Howie Statland is a featured survey participant for the 'Vintage Guitar Price Guide.' He is one of 25 select guitar dealers throughout the USA who helps determine the values set forth in the 'Vintage Guitar Price Guide.' He has been dealing guitars for over 20 years. A list of some of our satisfied clients include Paul Simon, The Killers, The Strokes, Courtney Love and Hole, Elvis Costello, Jeff Tweedy and Wilco, The Black Keys, Cults, Green Day, Arcade Fire, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Vampire Weekend, Motley Crue, Jonathan Richman, Mumford & Sons, J Mascis and Dinosaur Jr., the Smashing Pumpkins, Norah Jones, Peter Bjorn and John and many other local New York City working musicians. Our store began in 1998 on Rivington Street, hence our name, and expanded to a larger location on East 4th Street in 2008. We have since opened an acoustic store called Rivington Guitars Unplugged on the same street as our main store. Besides selling fine vintage guitars, we also offer guitar lessons at affordable rates, rental services and appraisal services. Our website is updated daily and all our inventory is on our website. There is always something new at Rivington Guitars, so come in today.” Join The Rob Burgess Show mailing list! Go to tinyletter.com/therobburgessshow and type in your email address.

Whiteout with Eric Lindsay in conversation with David Eastaugh Whiteout were a British rock group from Scotland, who were most famous for their hit "Jackie's Racing". Although they had existed in a different incarnation since the very early 1990s, the band's classic line-up consisted of Andrew Caldwell (vocals), Paul Carroll (bass), Eric Lindsay (guitar) and Stuart Smith (drums). The name came from a slang term for the disorientating effects of alcohol. They were the first guitar band to sign to the Silvertone label after their enormous success with the Stone Roses. Whiteout's principal recordings were the albums Bite It (1995) and Big Wow (1998). Their music was influenced by the country rock and glam rock of the early 1970s, as well as the aforementioned Stone Roses.

There were a number of musical moments to our talk, which Jimmy punctuated with his prized Silvertone, and since the bulk of that didn't quite fit the Q&A format, I'm posting the audio so you can get a feel for his style. The True Loves' Sunday Afternoon is out this Friday (May 28) via Color Red, and you can also peep the band playing a record release livestream show the same day via KEXP.

I moved to Octopus recently and had been putting it off for ages,  but I kicked myself for not doing it sooner, as it’s literally a 5 minute job to give them your details.   Click here: https://share.octopus.energy/free-puma-452   On today’s podcast: GMC’s Hummer EV Being Engineered As A Dedicated Electric Vehicle Volvo Battery Electric Trucks For U.S. UK Goes Green Numberplates Why XPeng Stock Skyrocketed Groupe PSA To Launch More EV Vans Lunaz to begin production of electric classic Range Rovers More PHEV's from Volvo and Audi HEVO Wireless Charging     Show #944   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Tuesday 8th December. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   GMC HUMMER DEVELOPED IN IT'S OWN BUBBLE The pandemic may have introduced us the concept of only mixing with people in your own bubble - or is that just a UK thing? - but now GM and the GMC Hummer are chanelling that spirit. They've confirmed the Hummer EV is being developed without regard for what else is on the market.   But is that a smart idea? Should GM benchmark the Hummer against it's rivals. Or should they make the truck they want to make, and not be swayed by what it will be competing with?   If there's one thing the EV community loves it's benchmarking. EV drag races on Youtube went from viral sensation to cliche when it seemed the only thing reviewers wanted to do was drag race anything and everything against a Tesla.   Hummer EV Vehicle Performance Engineer Todd Hubbard in an interview with Muscle Cars & Trucks:     The platform is called BT1 and it's besppoke to Hummer so the engineers don't have to make this work on a platform which wasn't designed for an EV. Truck fans might recognise the T1 platform from the Chevrolet Silverado but the Hummer is unique. But remember it's only unique because it's first.   GM's roster allows for economies of scale, purchasing, parts sharing and technology crossover. However I've often said the way to make a great EV is with a blank sheet of paper and not making it a compromise car. See: BMW. Or Ford F150, same truck just with batteries.   GM will use the BT1 platform (and their commercial version of it, the BV1) and expand from that, making those savings whilst increasing choice of models. If they didn't it would be a financial disaster but we know that's not the case. We know from the presentations around their Ultium batteries, the plan IS a lot of parts sharing and flexibility of pack sizes. Even motors and drive units will be used from their SUVs, Crossovers and large trucks. Those vehicles, like an electric Silverado, are where they'll really hit economies of scale.   GM also have a platform called BEV3 which is for things like the Cadillac Lyriq in 2021 but that's a different podcast.   VOLVO BATTERY ELECTRIC TRUCKS FOR U.S. Whilst the Tesla Semi Truck sucks up all the attention in teh commercial space there's actualyl lots more going on that people realise. Volvo Trucks North America just introduced the fully electric Class 8 Volvo VNR model and production starts early next year. They will be made in Virginia on the same lines as the diesel models. Except rather than an oil burner they have a 264kWh battery, a top speed of 65mph and a range of 240km. The trucks go up to 82,000 lbs gross weight. Volvo has been testing these as part of a trial in California and say that they provide customers with a complete solution. So I'm guessing that's charging and fleet management.   UK GOES GREEN NUMBERPLATES From today it's legal to have a new green numberplate here in the UK. Of course they are a legal identifier so had to go through the legislation process. From Dec 8th you can order your plates with a green rectangle on the left there the old blue Euro flag would be. At the moment it's just for those who want to show off their green credentials because the benefits aren't yet defined. Government hopes local areas will introduce incentives like free parking and bus lane use. Whilst ANPR can do a lot of the work, there are still traffic wardens who give tickets to EVs when parked in a special space because they don't know what cars are electric and which ones aren't. They CAN be retro fitted. No you can't make these yourself with green tape. By law, each number plate must display the name and postcode of the supplying outlet, the British Standard number and the trade mark of the manufacturer or component supplier.   WHY XPENG STOCK SKYROCKETED Chinese Electric car maker had a stellar November with the stock price up 203.2% and 100 of their G£ Crossovers are now being shipped to Europe for the first time. They delivered 3040 vehicles in Ocotber and 4224 in November. A total of 21,341 this year. They unveiled their new autonomous driving software at the Auto expo in China on Nov 20th. A reminder XPeng are the Tesla close in a legal battle with them aas well, over a former employee  who joined XPeng to work on self-driving. Tesla are saying, and this isn't legal speak, prove you didn't steal our code. XPeng saying, prove that we did. It's a common misconception Tesla open-sourced their patents so others were free to copy, in the sense of true open-source code. But instead they promised not to take action against anyone using them, in order further the field of EVs - but they do reserve the right to stop people using their IP.   GROUPE PSA TO LAUNCH MORE EV VANS Following the 2020 launch of electric versions of their medium van models (D-Van) and large van (E-Van), the four brands, Peugeot, Citroën, Opel and Vauxhall will complete their line-ups in 2021 with all-electric versions of their compact van (B-Van) and associated passenger cars. Coming from eCMP platform, the powertain is composed with:   A water-cooled 50kWh electric battery allowing power outputs of up to 100kW, A 100kW/136hp electric motor, An onboard charger available in two levels of power (7.4kW single-phase and 11kW three-phase)   LUNAZ TO BEGIN PRODUCTION OF ELECTRIC CLASSIC RANGE ROVERS Fancy an electric Range Rover conversion? The Silvertone based company Lunaz will make 50 of the classic Rangies, from 1974 to 1994, in all electric off roaders. Prices start at £245,000 or $329,000. It's a bare metal restoration and reengineering. 4 wheels drive, new suspection and brakes, infotainment screens etc. Customer delivieres summer 2021.   MORE PHEV'S FROM VOLVO AND AUDI Volvo completes electrification of XC60 range with plug in petrol. The XC60 is available with three plug-in hybrid powertrains. These combine a supercharged and turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine that drives the front wheels and an electric motor that powers the rears, ensuring the plug-in hybrid’s exceptional efficiency is twinned with the reassurance of all-wheel drive. And an 11.6kWh battery.   Presales of the A3 Sportback 45 TFSI e will start in Germany this week.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Dennis Mckee of The Mckee BrothersThe roots of the McKee Bros. project go back to 70s Ann Arbor and Detroit, where Ralph McKee, inspired by his college roommate, guitarist Bob Doezema (now a Berklee professor who tours with Al Kooper), bought a cheap bass and a Silvertone amp and started to teach himself to play. After a couple of years of jamming with guitarist Grant Cherry and bongo player Pat “Doc” Roberts, Ralph began to play professionally with the eclectic All Directions band, playing funk, jazz, blues, fusion and rock in local clubs and occasionally backing touring artists, including the Drifters and jazz drummer/vocalist Grady Tate. Ralph and Doc picked out a set of bongos for Denis (11 years younger), who then also picked up alto sax in school band. The McKee Brothers,Bluer Than You,A Time Like This,The McKee BrothersThe McKee Brothers,Think It Over,A Time Like This,The McKee Brotherswww.makingascene.org,Dennis McKee,,www.makingascene.orgThe McKee Brothers,A Scene From Sunday,A Time Like This,The McKee BrothersThe McKee Brothers,Putt Putt Hustler,,The McKee Brothers

Depths Day 1 of 4 Guest:                            Ed Harrell From the Series:         The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis________________________________________________________________ Bob:                Sixty years ago this week on the night of July 30, 1945, just weeks before the end of World War II, a Japanese submarine launched torpedoes that would sink the USS Indianapolis.  Marine Ed Harrell was on board that night. Ed:                  When I actually left the ship, and there I prayed that somehow the Lord would see me through what lie ahead, and yet I had the foggiest idea that I'm going to be out there for four-and-a-half days.  There's times when you pray, and there's times when you pray, and there is a difference. Bob:                This is FamilyLife Today for Monday, August 1st.  Our host is the president of FamilyLife, Dennis Rainey, and I'm Bob Lepine.  Of the nearly 1,200 men who were onboard the Indianapolis on that night only 317 survived.  Ed Harrell was one of the survivors, and we'll hear his story today.                         And welcome to FamilyLife Today, thanks for joining us on the Monday edition.  Dennis? Dennis:          Bob, I want you to imagine with me a pretty dramatic scene.  Just consider yourself being 20 years old, you're a Marine, you're tough, you're physically fit, but you're alone, you're in the ocean, you've just lost your ship, and you and about 80 others are floating in the middle of the night in the ocean in lifejackets.  We're going to hear a story – one of the most compelling stories I think I've ever heard from a gentleman who joins us on FamilyLife Today – one of the survivors of the USS Indianapolis. Bob:                A man who doesn't have to imagine what you just described because he lived through it. Dennis:          That's exactly right.  Ed Harrell joins us on FamilyLife Today.  Welcome to the broadcast, Ed. Ed:                  Thank you so much.  It's a delight to be with you. Dennis:          Ed is not only a survivor, but he was a businessman for 38 years.  He's served as a member of the board of trustees at Moody Bible Institute, a great ministry.  He and his wife Ola, who have been married since 1947 – that's a lot of years, that's a lot of years, live in Paris, Tennessee.  They have two children, eight grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. Ed:                  That's right. Dennis:          You've lived quite a life, Ed, but you're one of the few, one of the few survivors of that tragedy.  Take us back, first of all, to when you signed up.  Why in the world did you sign up to be a Marine?  It was 1943, is that right? Ed:                  That's right, 1943.  I don't know that I can even know why I really did at the time, but I knew that the war was getting pretty close to home, it sounded to me.  In fact, when I heard that the Japanese and the American forces were having quite a battle at Midway, I was thinking that Midway was maybe between San Francisco and Hawaii, and so I thought, you know, they're getting pretty close to America, so, actually, I had just finished my junior year in high school, and I volunteered then for the Marine Corps. Bob:                You were 17, 18 years old? Ed:                  I was 18 when I – I actually became a Marine when I was 18. Bob:                You know, Ed, my son is a junior in high school, and the thought of my son saying, "I'm going to sign up to be a Marine in the middle of this kind of conflict, as a parent, I'm not sure I'd endorse that plan.  Were your parents behind it? Ed:                  Yes, I think they pretty much agreed.  Dad pretty much agreed.  They didn't necessarily want to see me leave, but they knew, too, the little Silvertone radio that we had was telling us quite a bit what was happening in the Pacific, and I didn't have much problem convincing them that I wanted to go.  In fact, I have two grandsons in the Marine Corps today. Dennis:          Do you remember that time when you said goodbye to your dad? Ed:                  I do.  My dad was 37 or 39 years old, and I thought he was an old man then, but I told him goodbye at the bus station. Dennis:          Did you hug? Ed:                  Yes, yes, we did. Dennis:          Were there tears? Ed:                  There were some tears, there were some tears. Dennis:          What did he say to you? Ed:                  I don't know that I can remember what he said, but I'm sure that the advice that he gave me, he was a fine Christian man, and I'm sure it was some good, solid advice that he was giving me. Bob:                Why the Marines?  Why did you pick them instead of the Army or the Navy or the Air Force? Ed:                  I wondered sometimes why if I picked the wrong one, but I really don't know.  I even considered, after I got in the Marine Corps, that I would be a paratrooper.  After I got through sea school, then they said – after I got through boot camp, they said, "You're going to sea school," and I didn't know what that meant, either, but I went through sea school, and then they said, "You're going aboard a large combatant ship," and so I waited, then, until the Indianapolis was in port and caught it at San Francisco. Dennis:          Before you left to join the Marines, you made another decision that was a life-altering decision. Ed:                  Yes, I did.  Yes, I did.  On the 1st of August, 1943, already a Marine and yet hadn't shown up even for my boot camp, I went to church on that Lord's Day morning, and seeming the Lord was saying to me, "Your last chance, your last chance," and the preacher preached a message, and he gave an invitation, he pronounced the benediction, and I sat there, I knew that my heart was not right with the Lord, and knowing that I was going into combat soon that I had to get things right with the Lord.  I know the pastor came back and sat down by me there.  Everyone else had left the building except two people – one was my wife later to be, and my mother-in-law later to be, and they were back in the back of the building there praying, and the pastor turned to a Scripture, Acts 16:31, which simply says, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved."  He said, "Ed, do you believe that?" Well, I was brought up in a Christian home and Sunday school, church all the time, but really never trusted the Lord as my own personal Savior.  And so he goes over that a time or two, and he said, "Ed, God who cannot lie, is making you a promise, and He simply says believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, the finished work of Christ on the cross for you, and He promises to save you."  And then he would look at me and said, "Do you believe that?"  And I said, "Yes, I believe that," and he said, "But does the Lord save you?"  "No."  Well, he went over it a time or two and there, in the quietness of that little pew there in the church, I trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Savior.                         So later now, when I'm getting into the story of the actual sinking of the ship, I could really look back and rely on the faith and trust that I had in the Lord to care for me, even there in the water those days. Dennis:          Yeah, in fact, there's a line in your book, which basically says this – "The same Jesus Christ who became my Savior was now going to be the same Jesus Christ who saved my life." Ed:                  That's right.  When I actually left the ship, you know, abandoned the ship, I trusted the same Lord to take care of me there as I stepped over the railing and stepped into the water, and brought up in a Christ home and knew some Scripture.  But the Lord brought to mind there as I was about to abandon ship and seeing many of the boys actually jumping on each other in a desperate rush to get off the ship, and I hung onto that rail for a little while, and I prayed and oftentime I say when I give talks is that there's times when you pray, and there's times when you pray, and there is a difference.  And there I prayed that somehow the Lord would see me through what lie ahead, and yet I had the foggiest idea that I'm going to be out there for four-and-a-half days.                         But here from memory of His Word that he brought to mind – "Peace I give unto you not as the world give unto you, let not your heart to be troubled.  Don't be afraid."  And yet I'm scared to death.  And as I left the ship, then I left with the assurance I felt – God didn't speak to me in any audible form in any way, but just the assurance that I had from repeating His Word back to my heart, I knew that He was going to care for me. Dennis:          You did end up joining the Marines then, and you boarded the USS Indianapolis in San Francisco. Ed:                  In San Francisco. Dennis:          At that point, you had not been to war, you had not been in any battles, but that was soon to change, wasn't it? Ed:                  That's right.  Of course, to get aboard a large combatant ship like that, you know, that ship, you know, was 610 feet, 8 3/4 inches, and four or five stories high, and that's going to be my home, you know, for a time.  And then after I got aboard, then to see all those big guns that I'm going to have to learn how to fire those things, and I think I say in my book the biggest gun that I'd ever fired was a double-barreled shotgun, and yet here I'm going to be firing five-inch guns and 40 millimeter guns, so I'll be trained to do those things.                         Then I was at Saipan – actually, I was at Enewetak and Kwajalein Islands there in the Marshalls, then the first, really, combat was at Saipan then at Tinian and at Guam.  The sea battle of the Philippine Seas, that was at Palau, at Iwo Jima, at Okinawa, and later three air strikes on Tokyo and then, lastly, I was Marine guard that guarded the two atomic bomb – components of the bombs that we took over to our B-29 base on the island of Tinian. Bob:                And you didn't know, when you got on board the Indianapolis in San Francisco Harbor, you didn't know what else was on board with you.  You didn't know that you had … Ed:                  We did not know. Bob:                … the two atomic bombs that were going to be dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Ed:                  We knew it was top-secret cargo.  We understood, even, that the captain of the ship didn't know what we had; that he had been told that what he had, we needed to get it to the forward area – that every hour would save lives, and I was a guard that guarded – or, actually, I was a corporal of the guard, and I stationed guards both on the two places that we had the components of the bomb. Bob:                San Francisco to Tinian – how long a trip is that in the water? Ed:                  We made a record speed run.  We traveled those 5,400 or so miles in 10 days. Bob:                Wow. Ed:                  So, can you imagine a heavy cruiser traveling, like, 32 miles an hour across the Pacific?  So we made a record speed run to Tinian Island and got rid of our cargo. Dennis:          And you got rid of the cargo, made the turn, and you were to participate with another ship? Ed:                  We received orders at CENPAC there in Guam, the Central Pacific Command, to proceed to the Philippines, but we were to – yes, we were to join up with the USS Idaho, I think, three days later, to make a gun re-practice as we went into the Philippines, because the main invasion of Japan was to take place in November of '45. Dennis:          We're not going to go into the detail that surrounds, really, a great controversy about the USS Indianapolis, because some information was withheld about the enemy being in the waters – enemy subs – and you guys sailed into harm's way without realizing it.  But you were in the process of making your way to join up with the USS Idaho, and it was really an uneventful trip.  You weren't even going all that fast at that point, right? Ed:                  As I mentioned, we had traveled 32 knots going into Tinian, and then when we received orders then to go on to the Philippines, Captain McVay requested, or they gave him permission to travel only at 17 knots, to slow down, because we had nearly burned the motors up, you know, getting the cargo over.  So we had slowed back to 17 knots going on to the Philippines. Dennis:          You were one day away from connecting with the USS Idaho, and was it the middle of the night? Ed:                  Well, we were to have met them the next day in the daytime, but we encountered Commander Hoshimoto at about five minutes after midnight on the night of July 30, 1945. Bob:                Now, where were you when that happened?  Were you asleep in your bunk? Ed:                  No, the Indianapolis was a pretty modern ship, but we did not have air-conditioning, and in order to get any sleep at night, you went topside.  So I was on watch 'til 12:00.  At 12:00 I went to my locker, and I got my blanket, and I went topside, and I went up under the barrels of number 1 turret, and I took off my shoes and used kind of the arch of my shoe as a pillow, and I rolled up in my blanket, and it was about five minutes or so after midnight that the first explosion, we took the first torpedo.  And about as long as it would take Commander Hoshimoto to say, "Fire one, fire two," and he fired six, but two of them hit us, and the first one cut the bow of the ship off.  If you could see the picture of the ship, you could see that those barrels on number 1 turret, forward big 8-inch guns, they're about 18 feet long, and I'm sleeping right down on the deck under the barrels of those guns and looking forward of me, maybe 25, 30 feet or so, the bow of the ship is cut off – about 50 feet.  Some said 65 feet, but I don't think it was that much.  I think it was more of a 40 feet or so.  The bow of the ship was cut off, so we became a funnel, then, as we were moving through the water, and then the second explosion then was aft of me, nearly midship and close to the marine compartment, and it made a big gaping hole.                         And, of course, since we had no air conditioning, we were traveling at a – you might say, at an open condition in that all of our bulkheads down below were open, and they had to be open or else we would suffocate without air conditioning.  So that was a death blow, likewise, because as we were moving forward in the water, all of that water … Dennis:          It just poured in the front. Ed:                  It was rushing in, and even before I could get back to my emergency station, which was back at midship, the bow of the ship is already under.  I mean, the deck of the bow of the ship, like, the first 100 yards or so, is already under. Dennis:          Was there still light on the ship at this point, or had the torpedoes knocked out the electricity. Ed:                  All the electricity was knocked out. Dennis:          So you're in the middle of the night … Ed:                  But we had light in that there was an inferno below decks.  They say that number 2 turret took a hit, and the magazine in number 2 turret had exploded and came through all the way up so that it was just a big fire, a big blaze, coming up through there.  And then most other places below decks forward of midship was an inferno.  And so you get a certain amount of light, you know, from that. Dennis:          You said when the torpedoes hit, and the boat blew up, blew the front end off, that there was a huge amount of water that went up in the air, and it drenched you and ultimately kept you from burning up? Ed:                  I think two things – number one, of course, I believe in the providence of God, number one.  I had the blanket around me, and that protected me, no doubt, maybe from much of the blast of the fire at the first explosion, and then all of the water, then, from that first explosion that went up in the air, I don't know I could imagine 50 to 100 feet plus, then all of that coming back down.  Well, I was drenched, you know, with all the water, as it came back down, and that kind of protected me somewhat, I'm sure, from much of the flash burn that many were getting. Bob:                Ed, when something like that happens, it's disorienting at first.  You're thinking, "Did something explode down in the engine room," you're kind of trying to get your bearings.  How long do you think it was before you realized, "We're under attack, we've been hit," and you caught a sense of what was going on? Ed:                  I think immediately when we were hit, I wondered, "We aren't firing at anyone," and then just those three explosions, and no one now is firing back at us.  So we had to have either hit a mine or we had to have been hit by a torpedo.  And then realizing nearly immediately that forward part of the ship was cut off, and I could hear the bulkheads breaking down below and they, to me, were a death blow.  You could imagine, you know, with all that water, with the ship still moving 17 knots or so, and the funnel there coming – all of the water coming in, and the bulkheads breaking, you knew that the ship was doomed, and as I began to make my way, then, back to my emergency station, which was back to midship, and there were those that were coming from internally coming out, and that part of the ship, really, was kind of the officers' quarters up there. Many of those were in the flash burns, and as they came out, literally, flesh was hanging from their face and from their arms, and they were in panic and begging for someone to give them some help.  But, you know, that's not my responsibility, and I have to make my way to my emergency station, which was on the quarterdeck.  And, of course, when I get to the quarterdeck, then, I'm realizing that the ship is already under forward part, and there's no question that it's sinking.  So as word actually came to abandon ship, I had made my way to the port side, and there on the quarterdeck, there's a steel cable, a rail, as we call it, and I got ahold of the rail, and I hung on there and said my prayer, you know, before I actually stepped over the rail and stepped about two big, long steps and jumped into the water feet first. My kapok jacket then came up over my head.  If you could visualize that the deck of the ship now is listing so that you step over, and you walk down the keel of the ship, walk down the side of ship, and so I could have nearly walked to the water, but I walked down closer to the water, and then jumped in feet first and then began to come up and push that oil back that was on the water and then to try to get my head up above that, and then swam away from the ship about maybe 50 yards, and then we began to congregate, you know, in little groups.  The ship had still been moving, so boys had been getting off maybe for two or three or four minutes.  I actually watched the ship as she went under. Bob:                Did you think this was it for you? Ed:                  I wondered, and yet I really felt – and I don't say this in any boasting way of any kind, but I really had the assurance that somehow, some way, that I would make it. Dennis:          You felt like God … Ed:                  I felt assurance that – "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.  I'm with you," and I think when you hear all of my story, you'll see the various times that He came to my assurance that "I'm still with you," all the way through – the different things that happened for the next three days. Bob:                Yes, and we're going to hear the rest of your story over the next couple of days.  Of course, it is told in the book that you've written called "Out of the Depths," which is a compelling story of God's faithfulness in the midst of remarkable adversity, and I want to encourage our listeners, you can get a copy of the book from us when you contact us here at FamilyLife.                           Go to our website at FamilyLife.com.  Down at the bottom of the screen there's a button there that says, "Go."  You click on that button, it will take you right to a page where you can find information about ordering Ed's book.  Again, it's called "Out of the Depths."  We also have our conversation this week with Ed Harrell available on CD.                           We also have a book that our friend, Chip Ingram, has written that is a reflection on pivotal chapters from the Psalms where David experienced the same thing that you've talked about, Ed, which is the presence of God in the midst of trial and adversity.  He's written a book called "I Am With You Always."  It's a book that reminds us that the Lord is faithful to hear the cry of our heart; that He is there for us in times of great trial like you experienced.                          In fact, any of our listeners who wanted to get your book and Chip's book together, we'd send them the CD that has our conversation with you.  We'd send it along at no additional cost.  Again, go to our website, FamilyLife.com, click the "Go" button at the bottom of the screen.  That will take you right to the page where there is more information.  Or call 1-800-FLTODAY.  That's 1-800-F-as-in-family, L-as-in-life, and then the word TODAY, and we've got folks on our team who will be happy to let you know how you can have these resources sent to you.                         You know, speaking of resources, Dennis, one of the most requested resources we've had in our FamilyLife Resource Center this year has been two CDs from a conversation you and I had with Shaunti Feldhahn.  She wrote a book called "For Women Only."  It was based on the research she had done, conversations with more than 1,000 men about the deepest needs and the deepest longing in men's hearts.  And that conversation really resonated with a number of our listeners.  This month we are making that two-CD set available to any of our listeners who would contact us in August to make a donation of any amount to the ministry of FamilyLife Today.                         It's our way of saying thank you for helping to support this ministry.  We are listener-support, and it's your donations that keep us on the air in this city and in cities all across the country.  So this month, if you can go online to make a donation or call 1-800-FLTODAY to make a donation, just mention that you'd like the CD set for women.  In fact, if you're donating online, when you get to the keycode box just type in "CD," those two letters, and we'll know that you want to have these CDs sent to you.                         Again, our website is FamilyLife.com or you can call 1-800-FLTODAY to make a donation, and we appreciate you standing with this ministry financially.                         Well, tomorrow we're going to begin to hear the story of how Ed Harrell and others survived for four days afloat in the Pacific.  I hope our listeners can be back with us for that.                         I want to thank our engineer today, Keith Lynch, and our entire broadcast production team.  On behalf of our host, Dennis Rainey, I'm Bob Lepine.  We'll see you tomorrow for another edition of

Sinking of the USS Indianapolis________________________________________________________________ Bob:                Sixty years ago this week on the night of July 30, 1945, just weeks before the end of World War II, a Japanese submarine launched torpedoes that would sink the USS Indianapolis.  Marine Ed Harrell was on board that night. Ed:                  When I actually left the ship, and there I prayed that somehow the Lord would see me through what lie ahead, and yet I had the foggiest idea that I'm going to be out there for four-and-a-half days.  There's times when you pray, and there's times when you pray, and there is a difference. Bob:                This is FamilyLife Today for Monday, August 1st.  Our host is the president of FamilyLife, Dennis Rainey, and I'm Bob Lepine.  Of the nearly 1,200 men who were onboard the Indianapolis on that night only 317 survived.  Ed Harrell was one of the survivors, and we'll hear his story today.                         And welcome to FamilyLife Today, thanks for joining us on the Monday edition.  Dennis? Dennis:          Bob, I want you to imagine with me a pretty dramatic scene.  Just consider yourself being 20 years old, you're a Marine, you're tough, you're physically fit, but you're alone, you're in the ocean, you've just lost your ship, and you and about 80 others are floating in the middle of the night in the ocean in lifejackets.  We're going to hear a story – one of the most compelling stories I think I've ever heard from a gentleman who joins us on FamilyLife Today – one of the survivors of the USS Indianapolis. Bob:                A man who doesn't have to imagine what you just described because he lived through it. Dennis:          That's exactly right.  Ed Harrell joins us on FamilyLife Today.  Welcome to the broadcast, Ed. Ed:                  Thank you so much.  It's a delight to be with you. Dennis:          Ed is not only a survivor, but he was a businessman for 38 years.  He's served as a member of the board of trustees at Moody Bible Institute, a great ministry.  He and his wife Ola, who have been married since 1947 – that's a lot of years, that's a lot of years, live in Paris, Tennessee.  They have two children, eight grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. Ed:                  That's right. Dennis:          You've lived quite a life, Ed, but you're one of the few, one of the few survivors of that tragedy.  Take us back, first of all, to when you signed up.  Why in the world did you sign up to be a Marine?  It was 1943, is that right? Ed:                  That's right, 1943.  I don't know that I can even know why I really did at the time, but I knew that the war was getting pretty close to home, it sounded to me.  In fact, when I heard that the Japanese and the American forces were having quite a battle at Midway, I was thinking that Midway was maybe between San Francisco and Hawaii, and so I thought, you know, they're getting pretty close to America, so, actually, I had just finished my junior year in high school, and I volunteered then for the Marine Corps. Bob:                You were 17, 18 years old? Ed:                  I was 18 when I – I actually became a Marine when I was 18. Bob:                You know, Ed, my son is a junior in high school, and the thought of my son saying, "I'm going to sign up to be a Marine in the middle of this kind of conflict, as a parent, I'm not sure I'd endorse that plan.  Were your parents behind it? Ed:                  Yes, I think they pretty much agreed.  Dad pretty much agreed.  They didn't necessarily want to see me leave, but they knew, too, the little Silvertone radio that we had was telling us quite a bit what was happening in the Pacific, and I didn't have much problem convincing them that I wanted to go.  In fact, I have two grandsons in the Marine Corps today. Dennis:          Do you remember that time when you said goodbye to your dad? Ed:                  I do.  My dad was 37 or 39 years old, and I thought he was an old man then, but I told him goodbye at the bus station. Dennis:          Did you hug? Ed:                  Yes, yes, we did. Dennis:          Were there tears? Ed:                  There were some tears, there were some tears. Dennis:          What did he say to you? Ed:                  I don't know that I can remember what he said, but I'm sure that the advice that he gave me, he was a fine Christian man, and I'm sure it was some good, solid advice that he was giving me. Bob:                Why the Marines?  Why did you pick them instead of the Army or the Navy or the Air Force? Ed:                  I wondered sometimes why if I picked the wrong one, but I really don't know.  I even considered, after I got in the Marine Corps, that I would be a paratrooper.  After I got through sea school, then they said – after I got through boot camp, they said, "You're going to sea school," and I didn't know what that meant, either, but I went through sea school, and then they said, "You're going aboard a large combatant ship," and so I waited, then, until the Indianapolis was in port and caught it at San Francisco. Dennis:          Before you left to join the Marines, you made another decision that was a life-altering decision. Ed:                  Yes, I did.  Yes, I did.  On the 1st of August, 1943, already a Marine and yet hadn't shown up even for my boot camp, I went to church on that Lord's Day morning, and seeming the Lord was saying to me, "Your last chance, your last chance," and the preacher preached a message, and he gave an invitation, he pronounced the benediction, and I sat there, I knew that my heart was not right with the Lord, and knowing that I was going into combat soon that I had to get things right with the Lord.  I know the pastor came back and sat down by me there.  Everyone else had left the building except two people – one was my wife later to be, and my mother-in-law later to be, and they were back in the back of the building there praying, and the pastor turned to a Scripture, Acts 16:31, which simply says, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved."  He said, "Ed, do you believe that?" Well, I was brought up in a Christian home and Sunday school, church all the time, but really never trusted the Lord as my own personal Savior.  And so he goes over that a time or two, and he said, "Ed, God who cannot lie, is making you a promise, and He simply says believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, the finished work of Christ on the cross for you, and He promises to save you."  And then he would look at me and said, "Do you believe that?"  And I said, "Yes, I believe that," and he said, "But does the Lord save you?"  "No."  Well, he went over it a time or two and there, in the quietness of that little pew there in the church, I trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Savior.                         So later now, when I'm getting into the story of the actual sinking of the ship, I could really look back and rely on the faith and trust that I had in the Lord to care for me, even there in the water those days. Dennis:          Yeah, in fact, there's a line in your book, which basically says this – "The same Jesus Christ who became my Savior was now going to be the same Jesus Christ who saved my life." Ed:                  That's right.  When I actually left the ship, you know, abandoned the ship, I trusted the same Lord to take care of me there as I stepped over the railing and stepped into the water, and brought up in a Christ home and knew some Scripture.  But the Lord brought to mind there as I was about to abandon ship and seeing many of the boys actually jumping on each other in a desperate rush to get off the ship, and I hung onto that rail for a little while, and I prayed and oftentime I say when I give talks is that there's times when you pray, and there's times when you pray, and there is a difference.  And there I prayed that somehow the Lord would see me through what lie ahead, and yet I had the foggiest idea that I'm going to be out there for four-and-a-half days.                         But here from memory of His Word that he brought to mind – "Peace I give unto you not as the world give unto you, let not your heart to be troubled.  Don't be afraid."  And yet I'm scared to death.  And as I left the ship, then I left with the assurance I felt – God didn't speak to me in any audible form in any way, but just the assurance that I had from repeating His Word back to my heart, I knew that He was going to care for me. Dennis:          You did end up joining the Marines then, and you boarded the USS Indianapolis in San Francisco. Ed:                  In San Francisco. Dennis:          At that point, you had not been to war, you had not been in any battles, but that was soon to change, wasn't it? Ed:                  That's right.  Of course, to get aboard a large combatant ship like that, you know, that ship, you know, was 610 feet, 8 3/4 inches, and four or five stories high, and that's going to be my home, you know, for a time.  And then after I got aboard, then to see all those big guns that I'm going to have to learn how to fire those things, and I think I say in my book the biggest gun that I'd ever fired was a double-barreled shotgun, and yet here I'm going to be firing five-inch guns and 40 millimeter guns, so I'll be trained to do those things.                         Then I was at Saipan – actually, I was at Enewetak and Kwajalein Islands there in the Marshalls, then the first, really, combat was at Saipan then at Tinian and at Guam.  The sea battle of the Philippine Seas, that was at Palau, at Iwo Jima, at Okinawa, and later three air strikes on Tokyo and then, lastly, I was Marine guard that guarded the two atomic bomb – components of the bombs that we took over to our B-29 base on the island of Tinian. Bob:                And you didn't know, when you got on board the Indianapolis in San Francisco Harbor, you didn't know what else was on board with you.  You didn't know that you had … Ed:                  We did not know. Bob:                … the two atomic bombs that were going to be dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Ed:                  We knew it was top-secret cargo.  We understood, even, that the captain of the ship didn't know what we had; that he had been told that what he had, we needed to get it to the forward area – that every hour would save lives, and I was a guard that guarded – or, actually, I was a corporal of the guard, and I stationed guards both on the two places that we had the components of the bomb. Bob:                San Francisco to Tinian – how long a trip is that in the water? Ed:                  We made a record speed run.  We traveled those 5,400 or so miles in 10 days. Bob:                Wow. Ed:                  So, can you imagine a heavy cruiser traveling, like, 32 miles an hour across the Pacific?  So we made a record speed run to Tinian Island and got rid of our cargo. Dennis:          And you got rid of the cargo, made the turn, and you were to participate with another ship? Ed:                  We received orders at CENPAC there in Guam, the Central Pacific Command, to proceed to the Philippines, but we were to – yes, we were to join up with the USS Idaho, I think, three days later, to make a gun re-practice as we went into the Philippines, because the main invasion of Japan was to take place in November of '45. Dennis:          We're not going to go into the detail that surrounds, really, a great controversy about the USS Indianapolis, because some information was withheld about the enemy being in the waters – enemy subs – and you guys sailed into harm's way without realizing it.  But you were in the process of making your way to join up with the USS Idaho, and it was really an uneventful trip.  You weren't even going all that fast at that point, right? Ed:                  As I mentioned, we had traveled 32 knots going into Tinian, and then when we received orders then to go on to the Philippines, Captain McVay requested, or they gave him permission to travel only at 17 knots, to slow down, because we had nearly burned the motors up, you know, getting the cargo over.  So we had slowed back to 17 knots going on to the Philippines. Dennis:          You were one day away from connecting with the USS Idaho, and was it the middle of the night? Ed:                  Well, we were to have met them the next day in the daytime, but we encountered Commander Hoshimoto at about five minutes after midnight on the night of July 30, 1945. Bob:                Now, where were you when that happened?  Were you asleep in your bunk? Ed:                  No, the Indianapolis was a pretty modern ship, but we did not have air-conditioning, and in order to get any sleep at night, you went topside.  So I was on watch 'til 12:00.  At 12:00 I went to my locker, and I got my blanket, and I went topside, and I went up under the barrels of number 1 turret, and I took off my shoes and used kind of the arch of my shoe as a pillow, and I rolled up in my blanket, and it was about five minutes or so after midnight that the first explosion, we took the first torpedo.  And about as long as it would take Commander Hoshimoto to say, "Fire one, fire two," and he fired six, but two of them hit us, and the first one cut the bow of the ship off.  If you could see the picture of the ship, you could see that those barrels on number 1 turret, forward big 8-inch guns, they're about 18 feet long, and I'm sleeping right down on the deck under the barrels of those guns and looking forward of me, maybe 25, 30 feet or so, the bow of the ship is cut off – about 50 feet.  Some said 65 feet, but I don't think it was that much.  I think it was more of a 40 feet or so.  The bow of the ship was cut off, so we became a funnel, then, as we were moving through the water, and then the second explosion then was aft of me, nearly midship and close to the marine compartment, and it made a big gaping hole.                         And, of course, since we had no air conditioning, we were traveling at a – you might say, at an open condition in that all of our bulkheads down below were open, and they had to be open or else we would suffocate without air conditioning.  So that was a death blow, likewise, because as we were moving forward in the water, all of that water … Dennis:          It just poured in the front. Ed:                  It was rushing in, and even before I could get back to my emergency station, which was back at midship, the bow of the ship is already under.  I mean, the deck of the bow of the ship, like, the first 100 yards or so, is already under. Dennis:          Was there still light on the ship at this point, or had the torpedoes knocked out the electricity. Ed:                  All the electricity was knocked out. Dennis:          So you're in the middle of the night … Ed:                  But we had light in that there was an inferno below decks.  They say that number 2 turret took a hit, and the magazine in number 2 turret had exploded and came through all the way up so that it was just a big fire, a big blaze, coming up through there.  And then most other places below decks forward of midship was an inferno.  And so you get a certain amount of light, you know, from that. Dennis:          You said when the torpedoes hit, and the boat blew up, blew the front end off, that there was a huge amount of water that went up in the air, and it drenched you and ultimately kept you from burning up? Ed:                  I think two things – number one, of course, I believe in the providence of God, number one.  I had the blanket around me, and that protected me, no doubt, maybe from much of the blast of the fire at the first explosion, and then all of the water, then, from that first explosion that went up in the air, I don't know I could imagine 50 to 100 feet plus, then all of that coming back down.  Well, I was drenched, you know, with all the water, as it came back down, and that kind of protected me somewhat, I'm sure, from much of the flash burn that many were getting. Bob:                Ed, when something like that happens, it's disorienting at first.  You're thinking, "Did something explode down in the engine room," you're kind of trying to get your bearings.  How long do you think it was before you realized, "We're under attack, we've been hit," and you caught a sense of what was going on? Ed:                  I think immediately when we were hit, I wondered, "We aren't firing at anyone," and then just those three explosions, and no one now is firing back at us.  So we had to have either hit a mine or we had to have been hit by a torpedo.  And then realizing nearly immediately that forward part of the ship was cut off, and I could hear the bulkheads breaking down below and they, to me, were a death blow.  You could imagine, you know, with all that water, with the ship still moving 17 knots or so, and the funnel there coming – all of the water coming in, and the bulkheads breaking, you knew that the ship was doomed, and as I began to make my way, then, back to my emergency station, which was back to midship, and there were those that were coming from internally coming out, and that part of the ship, really, was kind of the officers' quarters up there. Many of those were in the flash burns, and as they came out, literally, flesh was hanging from their face and from their arms, and they were in panic and begging for someone to give them some help.  But, you know, that's not my responsibility, and I have to make my way to my emergency station, which was on the quarterdeck.  And, of course, when I get to the quarterdeck, then, I'm realizing that the ship is already under forward part, and there's no question that it's sinking.  So as word actually came to abandon ship, I had made my way to the port side, and there on the quarterdeck, there's a steel cable, a rail, as we call it, and I got ahold of the rail, and I hung on there and said my prayer, you know, before I actually stepped over the rail and stepped about two big, long steps and jumped into the water feet first. My kapok jacket then came up over my head.  If you could visualize that the deck of the ship now is listing so that you step over, and you walk down the keel of the ship, walk down the side of ship, and so I could have nearly walked to the water, but I walked down closer to the water, and then jumped in feet first and then began to come up and push that oil back that was on the water and then to try to get my head up above that, and then swam away from the ship about maybe 50 yards, and then we began to congregate, you know, in little groups.  The ship had still been moving, so boys had been getting off maybe for two or three or four minutes.  I actually watched the ship as she went under. Bob:                Did you think this was it for you? Ed:                  I wondered, and yet I really felt – and I don't say this in any boasting way of any kind, but I really had the assurance that somehow, some way, that I would make it. Dennis:          You felt like God … Ed:                  I felt assurance that – "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.  I'm with you," and I think when you hear all of my story, you'll see the various times that He came to my assurance that "I'm still with you," all the way through – the different things that happened for the next three days. Bob:                Yes, and we're going to hear the rest of your story over the next couple of days.  Of course, it is told in the book that you've written called "Out of the Depths," which is a compelling story of God's faithfulness in the midst of remarkable adversity, and I want to encourage our listeners, you can get a copy of the book from us when you contact us here at FamilyLife.                           Go to our website at FamilyLife.com.  Down at the bottom of the screen there's a button there that says, "Go."  You click on that button, it will take you right to a page where you can find information about ordering Ed's book.  Again, it's called "Out of the Depths."  We also have our conversation this week with Ed Harrell available on CD.                           We also have a book that our friend, Chip Ingram, has written that is a reflection on pivotal chapters from the Psalms where David experienced the same thing that you've talked about, Ed, which is the presence of God in the midst of trial and adversity.  He's written a book called "I Am With You Always."  It's a book that reminds us that the Lord is faithful to hear the cry of our heart; that He is there for us in times of great trial like you experienced.                          In fact, any of our listeners who wanted to get your book and Chip's book together, we'd send them the CD that has our conversation with you.  We'd send it along at no additional cost.  Again, go to our website, FamilyLife.com, click the "Go" button at the bottom of the screen.  That will take you right to the page where there is more information.  Or call 1-800-FLTODAY.  That's 1-800-F-as-in-family, L-as-in-life, and then the word TODAY, and we've got folks on our team who will be happy to let you know how you can have these resources sent to you.                         You know, speaking of resources, Dennis, one of the most requested resources we've had in our FamilyLife Resource Center this year has been two CDs from a conversation you and I had with Shaunti Feldhahn.  She wrote a book called "For Women Only."  It was based on the research she had done, conversations with more than 1,000 men about the deepest needs and the deepest longing in men's hearts.  And that conversation really resonated with a number of our listeners.  This month we are making that two-CD set available to any of our listeners who would contact us in August to make a donation of any amount to the ministry of FamilyLife Today.                         It's our way of saying thank you for helping to support this ministry.  We are listener-support, and it's your donations that keep us on the air in this city and in cities all across the country.  So this month, if you can go online to make a donation or call 1-800-FLTODAY to make a donation, just mention that you'd like the CD set for women.  In fact, if you're donating online, when you get to the keycode box just type in "CD," those two letters, and we'll know that you want to have these CDs sent to you.                         Again, our website is FamilyLife.com or you can call 1-800-FLTODAY to make a donation, and we appreciate you standing with this ministry financially.                         Well, tomorrow we're going to begin to hear the story of how Ed Harrell and others survived for four days afloat in the Pacific.  I hope our listeners can be back with us for that.                         I want to thank our engineer today, Keith Lynch, and our entire broadcast production team.  On behalf of our host, Dennis Rainey, I'm Bob Lepine.  We'll see you tomorrow for another edition of FamilyLife Today.                          FamilyLife Today is a production of FamilyLife of Little Rock, Arkansas, a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ.  ________________________________________________________________ We are so happy to provide these transcripts to you.  However, there is a cost to transcribe,

“I've always been into the older, cheaper Sears' catalog-type guitars,” Nic Delisle of Island Instruments explains on this week's podcast. That influence is clearly apparent when one looks at Island's unique guitar lineup; you can see familiar Silvertone, Kay and Stratotone shapes but with refined hardware, ergonomics and pickups. During our talk, Delisle walks us through his numerous electric guitar models, explains his love for reclaimed materials (he recently made a guitar using reclaimed floorboards from the Boston Symphony Hall) and more. We also talk about the La Conner Guitar Festival, which took place May 12-14, 2017 in La Conner, Washington. Check out Island Instruments here.

VGC 10: Valco's "Map" Guitars

Vintage Guitar Cast

The headstocks may say "National," but these are pure Valco "Res-O-Glas" beauties! The Val-Pro, Westwood, and Glenwood guitars offered from 1962 to 1964 put a whole new creative spin on what was possible for guitar-building materials and construction. Not to mention, some of these models even offered a transducer-type pickup built into the base of the bridge! We're talking 1962, here...way ahead of their time. Although they had a relatively short lifespan in production years, these babies certainly made an impact. And if you can find one today, be prepared to write a fairly hefty check before you can take it home with you. But comparitively speaking, it will cost you a heck of a lot less than trying to score a 1962-1964 Strat, Tele, or Les Paul. And you certainly won't be blending in while on-stage.Thanks go out to today's sources, the article, "National's Map-Shaped Electrics" by George Gruhn and "National Westwood and Glenwood: '60s Alt-Materials Make Short Run," an article from Vintage Guitar Magazine's June, 2001 edition.Thanks also to the Podsafe Music Network for the music on today's show. The lineup includes "Getting By" by Kathy Valentine, "Married on Monday" by The Gentlemen Losers, "Wednesday Morning" by Slackstring, "Almost Friday Night" by The Hot Rods, and "Tauntaun Heat" by Tadago Pie. For links to these bands websites and to hear the songs featured in their entirety, please check out my other podcast, Opinionated Ramblings.And at the end of the show, don't miss the promo for the Musician's Cooler Podcast! If you're in a band, you'll find great advice, tips, tricks, links, and all kinds of other stuff you never even knew you needed...but you do.Please join our Frappr Friends map, and feel free to leave me comments here on the blog, send me an email at vintageguitarcast at gmail dot com, or leave a voice message using the MyChingo method (links at the left)!Until next time!
