That was great, Andrew. Sounds like Ross's future is well mapped out.

I wish that they would bring back "In The Morning Day" from Their "Journey Album" and Ross would do all the vocals. I loved his work on that but not the progressive rock part of it.

My man is OUT THERE.......hooo boy.

Ross has always been known to be a character - I like the promise of future releases from the likes of Todd Rundgren and Prairie Prince....Thanks

"You have given me more info than I anticipated Ross!" (from Andrew)

huh

Whatever. The guy can still lay down a mean bass line. I the bottom of the track on Faith In The Heartland, as soon as Ross kicks in, though very subtle, adds extra punch to that track. It's a lot like his line on Higher Place. You don't realize it's not there until it's there. Lays out the bottom of the tracks superbly without the need to do bass fills and such during quiet moments just to be heard (I'm thinkining Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue's bad habit of doing that).

Puffed up? Ross has a particular sense of humor that must not be apparent to all readers. Having had the pleasure of meeting Ross, I found him to be a totally cool, laid-back, down-to-earth person. I find him quite charming and about as "un-puffed up" as the come.

So true - I have on more than one occassion done the "air bass-guitar" on that track, and for that specific punch. Something about his playing fits Journey very well, I've always thought. Of course, there is some evidendence of "white man's groove" in his past (anyone recall the intro to "The Party's Over" from Live 1981 Budokon? Classic accidental funny...)
