I know there are Grand Funk fans here

This here is a link to a very nice interview with Mark Farner in which he speaks of his gear, his days "workin on the railroad" and even turning on Frank Zappa to a little thing called the second amendment...

Don, Mel, and a bunch of guys doing what Mark used to do by himself.  I was fortunate enough to see them in 97 when they did a full-fledged reunion tour.  They were fantastic.
