Try CD Baby and do a search for Russ, I have heard some of his sample tunes
there and the man has a lot of talent imho.
As far as Uncle Josh goes, I have admired his work for years like Mike A.
Jerry D. and a lot of the professional people, but I have no hope to ever
becomeing as good as many of you including Mike and Jerry.
