>I love July 4th almost as much as Christmas. Every year on the 4th I get liquored up on Guinness during the day, and then put on a 2-hour show at night. Last summer we had over 50 people in our backyard (over an acre). By the end of the night the entire neighborhood smells like gun powder.

Few years ago we watched it from a hill above Charlottesville. Than I understood how Smoky Mountains got their name.
