I use Fourplay CD's on breaks and try to work on their material as often as possible. These guys are proof that commercial success is possible for excellent musicians who are not necessarily outstanding entertainers. Missed Lee Ritenauer at first, but Larry Carleton added a little more edge and I now like the current configuration. Keep it up! Russ

Dreamer Senior Member Registered: 02/23/01 Posts: 3849 Loc: Rome - Italy	I am a big fan both of Lee Ritenour and Larry Carlton, so I would really love to hear something by the Fourplay; can anyone recommend the best (or most significative) CDs to buy?

The Pro Senior Member Registered: 07/09/02 Posts: 1087 Loc: Atlanta, Georgia	Apparently Fourplay has a "greatest hits" album out but that seems strange because I didn't think they'd been together that long. Their newest album is called "Journey" and I'm heading to the record store today to get the new album and the "greatest hits" album if I can. BTW: Amazon.com has streaming samples of their music/albums. Go to their "Journey" album and you can hear a sample of their version of "Fields of Gold" that has me excited. _________________________ Jim Eshleman

captain Russ Senior Member Registered: 01/02/04 Posts: 7305 Loc: Lexington, Ky, USA	Actually, Fourplay has been around awhile. I think I have eight of their albums. The greatest hits album is a good one, and "Four" is another of my favorites. Anything before 2001 will be with Lee Ritenaeur. I buy every Fourplay album...don't even need to listen to them first.

The Pro Senior Member Registered: 07/09/02 Posts: 1087 Loc: Atlanta, Georgia	Yeah I now see that they've been around since at least 1991 as Fourplay though certainly their individual careers stretch back much farther. _________________________ Jim Eshleman

MusicJohn Member Registered: 02/13/03 Posts: 43 Loc: Garner, NC, USA	For me, I go and learn (by ear) a new song that I love, een if it has nothing to do with performing. As everyone has said, Music is supposed to be FUN!!!!!!. That new song will stick in your ribs and your mind. and it will make you happy everytime you play it. Enjoy ------------------ MusicJohn _________________________ MusicJohn
