  1. I grew up listening to Kenny Rogers (more Pop Country, IMO) thanks to my grandfather. Still love to listen to that music: Gideon, Kenny, Daytime Friends and anything with Dottie West. So I'll carry the flag for The Gambler.

     

    I don't listen to country but there's a few songs that I enjoy, Small Town Saturday Night by Hal Ketchum being one.

     

    I'll throw in Eagles, before they made the lineup changes; the first few studio albums. The concept album "Desperado" is terrific, in my opinion:

  2. A friend of mine is addicted to it; I tried it once and couldn't get into it. Part of the issue is my computer is not built for serious game play. I play a lot of Battlefield Heroes myself. Been on that for about 3 years (first-person/cartoony shooter).

  3. For those that aren't aware, the audio narration by Herbert Morrison commonly associated with the footage of the crash is played at a high speed, causing Morrison to sound high-pitched. The broadcast has been corrected and was first pkayed in 199 on WLS-AM out of Chicago. Here are a couple of references to the corrected broadcast:

    If you go about half-way down this page: WLS-AM You'll find a bit of information on this broadcast. As a child this event always fascinated me, so it was an interesting footnote to learn the initial audio was recorded slower than normal.

  4. I'm interested in attending if we decide to come to the game.

     

    Wife and I are discussing the cost of a trip from here to Buffalo or to take tickets to the Indy game in November, which is a 3.5hr drive for us. We are crunching numbers in our budget, as we're planning a family vacation back to Florida next January.
