"Will I Live On" (for Marc Wetherington)

“Will I Live On” (for Marc Wetherington)

By Aram on January 6, 2010

In December, my friend Marc Wetherington passed away. I recorded this Atlanta Rhythm Section song for him as a tribute. I also reminisce about the memorable weekend in Georgia that we Champagne Jammers now know as “The Last Waltz in the South”.

Find&Run Robot

Stop using the Start Menu to run your programs. Find&Run Robot is a much faster alternative. Just type a couple of letters and off you go. Nothing could be easier.

The NBA: Why People Hate Kobe

By Aram on February 4, 2009

People hate Kobe because of Michael Jordan. They won’t allow the myth of MJ be overshadowed by Kobe, who is arguably a better player than Jordan ever was.
