Try
A try is a way of scoring points in rugby union and rugby league football. A try is scored by grounding the ball in the opposition's in-goal area (on or behind the goal line). Rugby union and league differ slightly in defining 'grounding the ball' and the 'in-goal' area.
The term try comes from try at goal, signifying that originally, grounding the ball only gave the opportunity to try to score with a kick at goal.
A try is analogous to a touchdown in American and Canadian football, with the major difference being that a try requires the ball be simultaneously touching the ground in the in-goal area and an attacking player who is in the field of play or in-goal (the official name of the extra point in American football according to NFL rules is the try). In the laws of both codes of rugby, the term touch down formally refers only to grounding the ball by the defensive team in their in-goal. Although occasionally people refer to a try as a 'touchdown', the correct usage for the action is 'grounding the ball'.
I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!
I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! is a 1969 studio album by Janis Joplin. It was the first solo studio album Joplin recorded after leaving her former band, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and the only one released in her lifetime (Pearl was released 3 months after Joplin's death).
Record history
Recording began on June 16, 1969 in New York City and ceased on June 26. For the album, Joplin recruited guitarist Sam Andrew of the Holding Company to take part in developement, along with the Kozmic Blues band. Joplin installed a brass and horn section into the tracks, a feature her previous band would not allow. It was a total contrast to Joplin's previous psychedelic rock as the compositions chosen were more soul and blues driven. All but two tracks were cover versions that producer Gabriel Mekler and Joplin chose. The other two tracks, "One Good Man" and "Kozmic Blues", were written by Joplin herself. Overall, the album was a more polished work, but with the lack prominent accompanists like the Holding Company, the album was not as successful as Cheap Thrills.
Feeding off the Mojo
Feeding Off The Mojo is the sixth studio album by Night Ranger, released on October 17, 1995 on Drive Entertainment Records. It is the only album with bassist/vocalist Gary Moon.
"Music Box" was written by Moon before he joined the group.
The beginning intro music on the track "Mojo" was actually played while the Jack Blades-led Night Ranger took the stage during their 1996 reunion tour.
"Your Eyes Are the Window", "Wrong Again", "Alligator", and "Heart of Stone" are tracks that were submitted for the album, but were not used.
The album was produced by David Prater, who had also produced Dream Theater, Firehouse, and Arcade. The album was recorded from July 15, 1994 to August 31, 1995.
Guitarist David Zajicek played addition guitars on the album and toured with the band as an additional guitarist and keyboardist.
Night Ranger opened the first half of the tour with the song "Mojo" and the second half with the song "Longest Days".

Cant We Try
by: Dan HillI see your face cloud over like a little girl's
And your eyes have lost their shine
You whisper something softly I’m not meant to hear
Baby, tell me what's on your mind
I don't care what people say
About the two of us from different worlds
I love you so much that it hurts inside
Are you listening, please listen to me, girl
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
I love you so much baby that it tears me up inside
I hear you on the telephone with god-knows-who
Spilling out your heart for free
Everyone needs someone they can talk to
Girl, that someone should be me
So many times I’ve tried to tell you
You just turned away (how did I know)
My life is changing so fast now
Leaves me lonely and afraid (don't be afraid, no)
Can’t we try just a little bit harder
Can’t we give just a little bit more
Can’t we try to understand
That it’s love we're fighting for
Oh can’t we try just a little more passion
Can’t we try just a little less pride
I love you so much baby that it tears me up inside
Don't let our love fade away
(Don't let our love fade away)
No matter what people say
(No matter, no matter what they say)
Well I need you more and more each day
(Don't let our love fade away)
No matter what people say
(No matter, no matter what they say)
Can’t we try just a little bit harder
Can’t we give just a little bit more
Can’t we try just a little bit harder
Can’t we give just a little bit more
Can’t we try just a little more passion
Can’t we try just a little less pride
I love you so much baby, it tears me up inside
Oh, can’t we give a little bit more
Just a little bit harder
Can’t we give, whoa
