Sorry about your friends, Rodger. It's never easy loosing people you care about. I like the line "Weep not the adventure has begun". What a good way to look at it. Great song and well done on the recording

as always ,great song Ark! How long does it take for you to write and record a song like that? Seems like a lot of time and effort would go into making an instrumental like your stuff.

Hey Detman,
I run in to the same problem. The people I find to play with either dont like the music I play or are so egotistical that I dont want to play with them. I think Southpaw is right, best to just play by your self. I find its easier and alot less of a hassel

I second that

I don't know if I agree. I think you can call records from other eras into question as well. Was Babe Ruth really playing against the best of the best as he didn't play in a fully integrated league? Many of the pitching records were set when the mound was 6 inches higher (Bob Gibson's dominance forced MLB to lower it). Baseball has evolved over the years so it's not fair to compare stats and players across eras, and therefore, not fair to single out something different about the era and declare that they can't be in the HOF as a result.

I honestly feel hypocritical (and MLB should too) screaming about steroids in baseball because steroids put baseball back on the map. I turned my back on baseball after 94 like a number of other fans did. What brought me back? McGwire and Sosa...everyone knew they were juicin'...and no one cared because we all wanted a reason to watch baseball again. The casual fan loves the long ball (I dig the fundamentals and "small ball" because I grew up watching the Twins...and that's all they've ever played), so MLB, owners, and players looked the other way when it came to steroid use because: more HRs=more fans=more ticket/merchandise sales=more profit to team owners and higher salaries for the players. Basically, MLB and players put a product out there that we wanted...how can we be so irrate about steroid use now?

Don't get me wrong, I wish roids had never become a part of the game so players like Griffey, who most people believe did it the "right" way, could have been highlighted even more. We will never be able to separate users from non-users so I don't think steroids should be a factor in HOF voting. Now, with better testing procedures etc, we can be more confident that users will be caught (except HGH users) and then we could start keeping roid users out.

I agree with you to a point. Babe Ruth wasnt playing with the best because of racisim, thats a little different from whats happening today. I understand that the game has evolved, But changing the way its played is alot different then a bunch of guys"juiced" up. If they do it right and fair then no problem, But if they have to use a preformance  inhancer, then weres the sport in it? I also think the use of steroids has put a dark spot over what was a great game. All players are in question now, because of a few who couldnt do it on there own. What are we teaching our kids? If you cant do it, then cheat?
When I was a kid I so looked up to guys like Ken Griffey JR, Nolan Ryan, Orel Hershiser, Now I have to watch soccer! I love the sport and all ways will. GO CUBS!!!!

Thats a good song. I like the chords you use. Orignal, right? I think the title should be "Gotta Run".

Sounds good Russell. Came out great.

Bonnie Raitt and Ani DiFranco. Both sing great and both can play guitar better then me.

I would say myself. Atleast when my voice is recorded. Live its all right.
But the most annoying to me is Jerry Gracia.

I like how your going through the process with us, Russell. Its cool to see (or read) how someone who actually knows how to record, does it. Very educational
