Don,

I think lots of us dislike the sounds of our own voices. I'm with you on that, but remember what that Irish guy said: "O wad some Power the giftie gie us, To see oursels as ithers see us!"

(I expect to be hearing from a few Scots directly!)

Hi Folks! Sorry for the gap, but I've been up to my ears in wrangles with my insurance company since my wife met with a woman who decided to re-model the front of my car.

Don't know how long till I get the recording, but I did manage to listen and I like the way the program went, though my songs (from CD) sounded a trifle bland to me (I may be wrong here as I hate the sound of my recorded voice).

I shall be very interested in your take on it when the time comes.

Claudine is indeed very good at making one feel comfortable, but I think next time I'll take the guitar and do it live.

Actually I'll have to 'cos she's asked me to take part in a live show in December.

More later.

Don T.

Looking forward to it, Don. Whatever you're able to manage. How did you feel about the show?

Darn it, Don. I was at the dentist's longer than expected and missed you! I hope you can figure out a way to put the archive up for us.

That's a relief Don, as I was, as I suspected out of the house during the broadcast.
I hope you were happy with the result - Claudine does a solid job doesn't she.

I've just been advised that archive copies will be distributed through Claudine to all participants in her show.

As that will be the highest quality copy available, I shall await its arrival before proceeding.

In the meantime, I shall try to put some material on line and will supply links.

Don,

I can't be sure I'm in tonight so try this site:- http://www.freeware-guide.com/dir/audio/streaming.html

Go towards the bottom and there's a recorder one there (MediaRecorder). I believe it's the one I used before.

Got an answer from Claudine tonight.

Seems there's no facility to do anything other than listen at 7.00pm tomorrow.

Can anybody suggest a piece of downloadable software which will enable a PC to record streaming material/ Preferably a free one.

Meanwhile I shall enlist the assistence of the "Barden" if possible.

Failing that I will make some material available on the Cat, so my friends can listen to it.

Actually, I'll do THAT anyway, ASAP

Ta Woodsie, thanks to you lot I always knew it would come.

Yer an inspiration to a poor journeyman musician.

Melodeonboy, I have just spent 60p (for my US friends, that's $1.35 approx) on the Oct 5th KM, and found nothing on any of the page 14s, or indeed on any other page. Is the pic in an earlier issue, or am I the gullible victim of a classic Kevin Henty gotcha?

Cheers John,

I've not found a way either, but I still have hopes that Claudine may be able to shoot an MP3 copy by E-Mail. I'm waiting to hear from her.

I had fun doing the show a few weeks back, and managed to record it too, but I don't think there's a 'listen again' feature. As Don said you can hear it online, so I'll try and remember to turn on my computer, insert the radio sender and record to minidisk on my big system - rather a tortuous way of doing it I know, but I've yet to find a good programme to record direct to the computer from a streaming broadcast.

I missed that Kevin. Any text with it to explain why they risked damage to a perfectly good camera?

Bruce, I am truly flattered. I have tried recording a stream from the radio station, so far without success. I am waiting for a response to my query re. a recording of the show.

Kitty, It was recorded Friday afternoon, and consists of an hour long interview including my choice of tracks of people who have exerted influence on my musical developement, along with four tracks of my performances.

Richard, B*****d! (LOL)

"I had no idea so many of you would be interested."

Do I HAVE to be the only one with a big enough wooden spoon to say "That's because they haven't heard it yet"?


I don't of course really believe that, but it simply HAD to be said.



NB - for those who don't get it, this passes for humour in some places over here......

Welcome, Don. I have never heard you and I want to. I love your sense of humour and your thinking. So, of course, I want to hear your songs. A gig like that can be really exciting, and for those of us who live in various isolations, it sure makes the world a brighter place. Thing is, I need to find a way to record the show. But if they archive it I can download it maybe and get it to a CD from that.

I'm cheering for you. I hope it's great.

Thank you all for those kind words, they are greatly appreciated.

The short answer to the questions is, unsurprisingly, I don't know.

I will find out ASAP, and get back to you.

Bruce, thanks for the heads up. I had no idea so many of you would be interested.

Blatant plug for my appearance on Essex Link FM radio, on Claudine LeMoal's FAB SHOW, airing 7.00pm next Wednesday.

92.2 FM gets it if you are close enough, or you can listen to it on
http://www.linkfm.net/schedule.php

That's if you want to, of course.
