That means that I'm really, really sad today. I accept that I am powerless in my love for this team that disappoints me again and again. I accept that to play this strange game with a stick and an orb takes a combination of skill and luck, and that for some reason the balance was - once again - not in favor of my beloved Red Sox. I accept all this and know that my life will go on. Honestly, I woke up this morning feeling like I had a baaad baseball hangover following an extended binge. That despite the fact that I drank nothing more than sparkling water while watching the game last night. Time to go back to music.

Hi Maggie. Today is indeed a sad day. Baseball is such a strange game. I am powerless as well and yes, I think now is a good time to shift my attention over to music. This morning on Atlanta talk radio, host Neal Boortz was saying as far as he was concerned, the baseball season was now over. That the New York Yank me's and the Florida Marlins will be playing 6 or 7 exhibition games, but for all intents and purposes it is over. sigh.....

Bob Dylan's Statement on Johnny Cash I was asked to give a statement on Johnny's passing and thought about writing a piece instead called "Cash Is King," because that is the way I really feel. In plain terms, Johnny was and is the North Star; you could guide your ship by him -- the greatest of the greats then and now. I first met him in '62 or '63 and saw him a lot in those years. Not so much recently, but in some kind of way he was with me more than people I see every day. There wasn't much music media in the early Sixties, and Sing Out! was the magazine covering all things folk in character. The editors had published a letter chastising me for the direction my music was going. Johnny wrote the magazine back an open letter telling the editors to shut up and let me sing, that I knew what I was doing. This was before I had ever met him, and the letter meant the world to me. I've kept the magazine to this day. Of course, I knew of him before he ever heard of me. In '55 or '56, "I Walk the Line" played all summer on the radio, and it was different than anything else you had ever heard. The record sounded like a voice from the middle of the earth. It was so powerful and moving. It was profound, and so was the tone of it, every line; deep and rich, awesome and mysterious all at once. "I Walk the Line" had a monumental presence and a certain type of majesty that was humbling. Even a simple line like "I find it very, very easy to be true" can take your measure. We can remember that and see how far we fall short of it. Johnny wrote thousands of lines like that. Truly he is what the land and country is all about, the heart and soul of it personified and what it means to be here; and he said it all in plain English. I think we can have recollections of him, but we can't define him any more than we can define a fountain of truth, light and beauty. If we want to know what it means to be mortal, we need look no further than the Man in Black. Blessed with a profound imagination, he used the gift to express all the various lost causes of the human soul. This is a miraculous and humbling thing. Listen to him, and he always brings you to your senses. He rises high above all, and he'll never die or be forgotten, even by persons not born yet -- especially those persons -- and that is forever. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2003 19:05:35 -0700 From: "Mark or Travis" Subject: London Bridge amelio747 wrote: > Yeah I think it was probably one of those things she thought was good > at the time but got tired of, as I did! > I can't imagine that she ever thought it was good.

It is a wonderful digital piano with a great feel. It also has a great sequencer and lots of versatility in audio recording and sampling. The spec= s are attached below. I am asking $1,800.00 for it with some computer program= s that came with it and an instructional DVD to learn how to do all of the functions of the keyboard. Yamaha is offering a loyalty program that allows me to offer a full one year warranty on the keyboard (parts and labor) from the date of purchase from me to you. This is because I am going to upgrade to the more expensive Motif-8ES which of course is about a grand more money= . I always like to keep on the cutting edge of keyboards because of my work locally. I would like to see this board go to a good home and hopefully a friend who can=B9t afford the latest greatest keyboard out there. These originally retailed for $3,495 and sold for $2,500. I will throw in some other incentives to the right person. Here are the specs below. Much more info on request.
