Yeah I'm hooked on that album too. Good stuff!!! I'm especially fond of "My Darling Hometown."

What? Because one(i.e. ME) doesn't have their own music available for people to hear via the computer, one's opinion regarding a topic or another person has no validity? Easy tiger, it's just an opinion. I'll do my best to get some of my music available for all to hear so you and others can tear into it and constructively advise what needs to be done to make it better.

ps... I listened to a few of your tunes. Nice guitar work. I especially like the harmony leads on the first tune(Latin Sun) and the folksy tune with the harmonica and mandolin(theyre lady odonovan). Me personally, I can't do drum machines, but hey, it's your creation to do with as you wish. I just feel as though they take the human feel out of music. My vocal coach in college had a saying. "No harmony is better than bad harmony."(regarding background vocals) I'm not saying the drums are bad, just a tiny tad of musical food for thought. I know "real" drums are much more difficult to record but sometimes(always in my world) it's worth the effort. You should be proud of your music, it's good stuff Russell.

topdown,
   My heart goes out to you. I am so sorry for your loss. Being a father of 2, I just couldn't imagine how I could go on if something were to happen to one of them. I admire you. Even though Chris was dealt a bad hand with his illness I'm sure you made everyday of his life a blast. That was some very touching stuff with Metallica. I have a whole new respect for them.

Lyrically for me it's John Prine, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Robert Hunter(Grateful Dead lyricist), Gordon Lightfoot, Warren Zevon, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Neil Peart, Eddie Vedder, Paul Simon, Alison Krauss, Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, Tom Waitts, Bruce Springsteen, Greg Allman, Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Bono, Ozzy Osborne, Ronnie James Dio, Muddy Waters, Keb Mo, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Kurt Cobain.....tomorrow I'd probably give you a whole new list with a few people relisted.

Musically it's everything my ears have had the pleasure of hearing from my country and bluegrass as a young child, the rap, funk, and R&B of my early teens, the heavy metal and hard blues rock of my late teens and early twenties, the classical guitar absorption of my late teens and early twenties, the psychedellic and southern rock phase of my mid to late twenties, the punk, grunge, alternative, experimental and industrial of my late twenties to early thirties, to my current audible consumption of everything from my past and my infinite evolving likes of new music today.(not necessarily new, but new to my ears)

If you're not happy with the topic at hand, participate in a forum discussion that better suits your likes. There are many other areas to participate in Death is dark but it is real. It's a part of the spiritual and actual universe. I see no problem entertaining people's funeral wishes. It's interesting( to me at least) to see what people want to have played at their final gig.

I will try to be more tolerant of other people's shortcomings, realize mine, and try to improve on them.

I will tell each member of my family that I love them, everyday.

I will attempt to allot my time so that my family, not my career, gets most of it.

'O Brother Where Art Thou has gotta be up there. Great stuff beginning to end.

The ultimate funeral song; Hows 'bout the old Jazz Funeral march, "When The Saints Go Marching In."  Also go on and add John Prines' "Please Don't Bury Me" to the list as well. My Grandmother has stated that she wants me to play this tune at her funeral when she kicks the big bucket. Hopefully I'll have many more years before I have to do this.

This is neat-o James. It makes me think of my favourite television program, "Survivorman." This dude goes to far away  to remote places and survives off of the land with not much more than 3-5 cameras to document his adventures. It's usually on late at night when I get home from work so it's slim pickings as far as quality T.V. (is that an oxymoron?) programs. I'm not much of a T.V. guy.  I used to like MTV but now all they show is a bunch of people arguing with one another, soap operas with people wearing bikinis and board shorts! Anyhoo, good tune, thanks for sharing..........

Great to have you back Leiven, no one tells a story quite like you. I say this with the utmost respect and appreciation to you. Take care and don't try to do too much too fast.
