Since both of us are baseball fans, we began tonight's show with a special
dedication to Mark McGwire (country songs about baseball seem hard to come
by!).  Much to our delight, Big Mack went on to hit his historic 62nd
homerun later that night.  Fortunately we have a TV in the studio so we
were able to catch the solo blast just over the left field wall.  We also
gave out copies of the new BR5-49 and Bruce Robison CDs, both of which have
nothing to do with baseball but are still mighty fine in their own right.
