""At one time, young people shared their passion in smokey upstairs rooms of pubs. Now, its Youtube".

better believe it... old folks...

Increasing broadband speeds and decreasing lag...
Only a few more years and we could be jamming in a real time
with groups of musical folks all over the world...

..though obviously in the UK our broadband is too slow and expensive,
and we are probably dragging a decade behind the rest of the 'developed' world....

How come some folks can skype relatives in Australia,
yet we can't get sufficient mobile signal/boadband speed to skype my mum's house less than 15 miles away...
because the UK has gone to shite...
