My grandfather had a couple for making caps, back in the century. They may have been gas powered.
A gasoline-powered sewing machine? Sounds like one of Stephen King's nightmares!

It definitely needs a tuneup!
Perhaps a turnip.

You always hear of people joining band but can't really play. In a recently posted video, Ed King talked about how he was just leaning to play guitar when Strawberry Alarm Clock was recording their first album. He was much better when they got to their second album and even more so by the time he joined Lynyrd Skynyrd. Tina Weymouth was another example. Her friends pleaded with her to join them and form the Talking Heads. It was more important for them to have a like minded friend in the band than someone who could actually play.
An interesting tribute to her. A musician and songwriter that could.
As an aside, Tina's dad recently passed away just shy of his 103rd birthday. His name was Ralph Weymouth. A three star retired Admiral, he was a vetran of WWII. The Korean War, and The Vietnam War. In Vietnam he commanded Anti-Submarine Warfare Group 3 in support duties in the Tonkin Gulf. Keeping the big ships safe. He held the distinction of being the oldest living graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy.
Tina was one of eight children. Some siblings went into journalism. Her brother is a known architect. His one time mother in law was Katharine Graham, who oversaw the Washington Post from 1963 to 1991. A tumultuous time before journalism died.

Fuel and moonshine can be made out of just about anything.....even turnip.

Related, maybe? I can run on a variety of fuels. Some will clog the pipes, others see me cruising all the livelong day. At our age we're all Model Ts. The controls don't work intuitively, backfires are normal, and speed is relative.
So, the mystery continues.Nope they have been shown to NOT be EMG's.....
Forget looks....They, by most accounts, look nothing like the pups that they are based/converted/whatever from...

I was thinking natural gas as in home lighting from the 1800s, but gasoline works, too, as beans has pointed out.A gasoline-powered sewing machine? Sounds like one of Stephen King's nightmares!![]()
Very sad to me. During the 80's we played Huey Lewis songs off of every album they released. Funny.... When I was young I thought we would rock on forever...
