I'd quite like to do this, and I have the words, and chords, but I'd like to refresh my memory of the Country Joe performance before I get to work on my singing and playing.

Can anyone send me an mp3 in a zip? I have not been able to find the song in the internet so far.

I have the tune on CD and can rip it easily but haven't ever "zipped" a file. I'll give it a try tis evening after work. If you have any tips for zipping files let me know. By the way I'm on dial-up so advise if this is feasable.

To zip up the mp3 file you will need Winzip or PK zip or enzip or another zip utility. I think if you run XP it has one of its own.

Zipping a file compacts it a little and renders it less likely to be corrupted in transmission. Winzip is pretty self explanatory to use. There is a free evaluation copy downloadable - but it is a bigger download than you will want to make on dialup. Install it and then when you right click on the file you get the option to put the file into a zip - and even to zip and email it.

The problem is (if you are on dialup) that the resulting file is still likely to be about 2 to 3 mb - bigger than you are going to want to send and maybe bigger than your ISP will let you send.

But thanks for the thought. I had it on tape but alas the tape got eaten by a rogue player. Perhaps I'd better trace and buy the CD. I did that for the Tim Rose songs I wanted to learn. Great songs, awful renditions and recordings. At least the Fish Cheer album is all listenable to!

I have a copy somewhere and will try and send you one. Fine album, particularly like Janis

It is possible for Zip files to have the output chopped up into several files that can each be of a particular size (the original use was to put a very large file onto a set of 1.44Mb floppies) and which will automatically reassemble itself when run at the other end.

Great song - I used to do it years ago.

You are correct foolestrope. I had forgotten that.

Peace, thanks, I've tried that site but I don't seem to be able to download from it. I surmise it might be because it is an American site and I am in England and there is an issue about the territoriality of copyright licensing although it might be me not immediately getting how the site works - nothing turns up in my shopping cart, but that again could be something to do with cookies which I generally do not accept...

Nick, many thanks, I have PM'd you with my email address.

It's most likely the 'cookies' problem - the easiest way to get a 'shopping cart' to work is to use cookies.
