   It's got some nice solo jams.

   Yeah, the Brian Setzer Orchestra got me thinking. When they do their own   
   Originals, they're excellent but when they do covers, not so much...and that   
   reminded me of Chicago - one of the best bands ever... because when the band   
   was put together, it was preconceived that Chicago would be a rock & roll   
   band, with horns...but there's something far more profound about their   
   Awesome sound - they focused on their own Originals - pretty much   
   Exclusively...and THAT's why they're so great!   
   A lesson to be learned!!!

   I figured it'd be something like that, which raises the question; WHY does   
   he even want to play in your band at all?

   Seems that fortunately he wasn't badly hurt, and dirt is a bit of a   
   challenge but it's usually when an operator doesn't prepare for the   
   unexpected that things get dangerous.   
   On the other hand, maybe the manufacturer could do something to make them   
   safer. Just as off road vehicles have roll bars, tractors should have some   
   kind of stabilizer system, perhaps like outriggers, to keep them from   
   turning over...or at least some kind of reinforced cage to surround the   
   operator.
