Not to belabor the point or be political, but I have Amish friends and know their pulse. For them, it is not the science such as electricity, but the control thereof. Many an Amish shop creates power from a fossil fuel. Generation is internal, typically sourced from the PTO of a John Deere, then to a generator, pneumatic or hydraulic featured reservoir. It's all about "control". They embrace stored energy so battery powered audio is a montra. We think this is a cool alternative, for them, a fact of life. Anyway, wood is in their veins, and rift sawn would be considered vain as in embellishment, for those considering themselves as "plain". Thanks for the compliment and opportunity to shed some light ( alright, sound-off).
