Hi Georgina and Breezy,

Thanks for the link, I've activated it now.

Georgina, for future ref, you 'copy' the web address of the site you want, click the blue clicky link, which takes you to a new page with various boxes on. Go to the top box marked 'Link URL', paste the address/URL into there, then press 'Create link' which is immediately below.

This takes you to yet another page where it will say "Cut and paste this into your post:" and that is exactly what you do. Copy the *entire* new address then bring it back here and just paste it wherever you need to. Also on that last page you are given a 'test this link' button, which should take you exactly where you want to link into.

Hope this helps and hasn't made you give up the will to live! ;0)

So...I did all that and got the link below. Thank you, but Oh...it is such a short clip and because it is deemed a commercial site you could never put it on the BBC.

But look what I can do with George's music:

http://www.myspace.com/georgepapavgeris

And even if you can't put Myspace links on to other sites, all you have to tell people is to google 'George Papavgeris Myspace' and they'll instantly find George's page. Putting Myspace after any artist's name takes you there in seconds.

Their music is so very beautiful and the songs often very powerful...but I can't let the world HEAR them! And only the other day over on Myspace someone e mailed me to say that she'd just downloaded all of Seth Lakeman's CDs from iTunes after clicking on my page. Honestly...and...she comes from Maine USA and her name is Shane (isn't that lovely...Shane from Maine!) Here is the message, which contains nothing personal whatsoever.:

Body: Thanks for being here. I sometimes just click on friends and listen to the music. I just bought all three Seth Lakeman CDs from iTunes. As soon as they finish DLing, I will take them outside with me. (It's a three day weekend in the US.) I also shared his myspace URL with two musician friends......"


Still at least I have a short burst of 'Jerusalem Revisited to let people hear now, so many thanks for that.
