I didn't have saltpeter, so I substituted perc...
I didn't have magnalium, thought aluminum would work.
I didn't have antimony, I used realgar instead,
a full lb, not a 1/2lb, "more is better" is what I said..
My friend gave me the comp, and said it'd really knock my socks off..
That SOB, he must be nuts, it damn near blew my face off !

To the tune of "Mama Don't Let your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys"

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be pyro's
Don't let 'em shoot rockets and light them salutes
Don't let em talk bulls**t that's high as your boots.
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be pyro's
They'll just play with thier 'toys' and make freakin' loud noise
'n track charcoal all over the rug.

Pyro's ain't easy to love and they're harder to please
They'll spend the whole paycheck on mail order from Harry G.
GOEX Black Powder and fine mesh magnalium and each night they light up the sky
If you don't like fireworks, and he don't die young
He'll probably just say "goodbye"

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be pyro's
Don't let 'em shoot rockets and light them salutes
Don't let em talk bulls**t that's high as your boots.
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be pyro's
They'll just play with thier 'toys' and make freakin' loud noise
'n track charcoal all over the rug.

Pyro's like smokey old mortars and long hang-time glitter
Crossettes and hummers and fountains of flames in the night
Them that don't know him won't trust him
And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him.
He ain't nuts he's just different,
This hobby will make him do things neighbors think just ain't right.

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be pyro's
Don't let 'em shoot rockets and light them salutes
Don't let em talk bulls**t that's high as your boots.
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be pyro's
They'll just play with thier 'toys' and make freakin' loud noise
'n track charcoal all over the rug.

Here is the link to my first 4" ball shell. Winokur12 with dragon eggs, and Lancaster Gold Glitter. 44 grams of lift under a 340 gram shell.

Here's a video of a 4 inch mine shell I just shot this evening. It used 20 grams of lift under 50 grams of Winokur 12 glitters and 50 grams of mixed Veline orange and purples. What a fun way to use 'left-over' stars. Next one of these I make I will double the number of stars I think
