In the 18th and 19th centuries; covered bridges dotted the landscape of New Jersey; providing safe passage to travelers. Forty-five covered bridges once crossed waterways in all corners of the state. Perhaps the most extraordinary examples of these wooden bridges were found along the western border; crossing the Delaware River into neighboring Pennsylvania. These bridges were feats of construction and engineering but were ultimately unable to prevent the inevitable fate of almost all the covered bridges of the state; namely ice; floods; and fire as well as the development of new materials and technology. Today; only one covered bridge survives in New Jersey. The Green Sergeants covered bridge in Hunterdon County was constructed over the Wickecheoke Creek in 1872 and has stood the test of time. New Jerseys Covered Bridges showcases the rich transportation history of these structures and pictorially honors the lost ones.

He offered up a chronology of recording facts and a behind the scenes whose who that I had never known before and found very interesting. Dave Thompson inserted the more credible recounts of facts about the private behaviors of Phil Spector without dragging in the many hearsay stories that are out there. Between the Al Pacino-played version of Mr. Spector; an actual interview of Mr. Spector filmed one month before his trial; and the subtle details learned from reading this book; I came away feeling sorrowful for Mr. Spectors social disorder that had caused him so much obvious pain. I also gained a whole new insight into how the record producing business was done and how important the producing business was at shaping the sounds we listened to. Ill never listen to his music the same way knowing how much of Mr. Spectors private passion and pain was in it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

A must read!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. When I grow upBy mikeythereaderThis is one scary dude but still a genius for wall of sound. Listen to River Deep Mountain High and even in mono it sounds like stereo with everything going on. Like Brian Wilson who idolized Phil no one can pull off mono like these two.
