We have released 3 CD's independently and tour the western US. We also do Childres performance and residencys. We are doing a show in our hometown of Polson, Montana and we have a tech friend who is going to simulcast it on the web. The show will be this thursday Jan 27 at 7:30PM Mountain time. Go to www.dotcast.com Channel 1. I have not clue about the details of seeing this on the computer but if you can it will be fun to have you with us. |

26 Jan 00 - 01:19 AM (#168466) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: katlaughing Yippee! Thanks for the info, Ken. I haven't seen you guys in Casper in a year or two, so it'll be nice to get my Willson & McKee *fix*. I love your CD;'s, but seeing you two together is half the fun! Phoaks! If you can, tune in, these guys are really great. I have all of their CD's and they are wonderful. Very talented performers. Peter, if you see this, McKee is the one who wrote The Pattern. If you tune in maybe you'll get to hear it. Nice addition to the Mudcat, Ken & Kim. To quote Max, its founder & owner, "Welcome, welcome to the Mudcat Cafe!" katlaughing |

26 Jan 00 - 06:20 PM (#168820) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: Áine I've gone to the site, but all I get is a blank page -- What's up with that? I'd really like to see the show -- can someone tell me how to make it work? -- Áine |
|
26 Jan 00 - 06:23 PM (#168822) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: katlaughing Áine, when I go there, I get a main page which has a picture of Willson & Mckee on a CD cover, with the notice of the simulcast and the date for it. It hasn't happened yet, so if you clicked on one fo the channels and got a blank page that may be why. It will be live at 730, mountain time, tomorrow, from what I understand. |

26 Jan 00 - 06:31 PM (#168827) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: Áine OK, mehitabel, I went back and I got the same thing. Do you know if there is a particular plug-in that this program requires? (i.e., quicktime, etc.) I just want to make sure I've got the right one downloaded to take advantage of the show. -- Áine P.S. Aren't your friends the cutest thangs! |

26 Jan 00 - 07:36 PM (#168863) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: McGrath of Harlow "7.30 Mountain Time" - now what's that in real money? Yes, I know, it's 7 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time, which means that show will be at half-past noon where I live. I think. Anyway not a time I can get to hear it - so I hope they'l find some way of archiving it.
But we really have got to get in the habit of sticking down what time zone we are talking about when we tell each other about things that are happening live - we've got a worldwide cafe here. Better still, maybe we need to agree on a shared world-wide time zone and put that in announcements as well. |

26 Jan 00 - 07:47 PM (#168871) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: katlaughing Sorry, Kevin, you are right. I think if we all stick to Mudcat time, i.e. Eastern Standard Time, the east coast where Max is, then we can all calculate. So...it will broadcast at 930p MUDCAT TIME. If I figured it right, that would be about 430a in London. katlaughing |

27 Jan 00 - 12:52 PM (#169191) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: Áine No one answered my question about what kind of plug-in I need for Netscape to see/hear this show -- Come on guys, I don't want to miss this! -- Áine |

27 Jan 00 - 03:50 PM (#169263) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: katlaughing Áine, sorry, womon, I didn't see your second question. when I went there and wandered around, I wasn't able to get any text on the pages or images, except my friends (yes, they are attractive in person, too!) Anyhow, I have just emailed the webiste people and told them we all want to be able to watch and to please get back to me, pronto, so I'll let you know, hopefully, really soon! kat |

27 Jan 00 - 04:04 PM (#169268) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: GUEST,Ken Willson Hi Friends, I am going to set up right now and I will ask the main man what you need - I think that the windows media player should do it but I will post after soundcheck to let you know. by 6:00 MST Thanks Ken PS nothing will show up till the begin streaming. |

27 Jan 00 - 04:13 PM (#169275) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: Áine Thanks kat and Kevin! I've got the window media player downloaded for Netscape. Let me know if I need another plug-in and I'll go get it. I'm really looking forward to seeing the show. Break a leg, Kevin! -- Áine |

27 Jan 00 - 04:22 PM (#169280) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: Molly Malone A couple of friends did the same sort of thing a while back, my media player handled it ok, but if you are running on minimal RAM it will be choppy. 32 mg RAM in mine, it was wierd! So when are you coming to Phoenix? |
|
27 Jan 00 - 04:43 PM (#169293) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: catspaw49 And I'll be along myself. I seem to run about 50/50 on these live things so let's hope I'm on 50 instead of 50. If that makes any sense to you, you can probably get some kind of disability benefit. Spaw |

27 Jan 00 - 08:13 PM (#169415) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: Áine All righty then -- I checked back on the Channel 1 site and it told me that I had to have Quicktime 4 and provided a link to the Quicktime page to do that. So, I've got the Quicktime plug-in, and I'm hoping that it'll work right and I'll be able to see the show. Keep your fingers crossed . . . -- Áine |

27 Jan 00 - 08:20 PM (#169420) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: katlaughing And, here's the email I received from a "Jim": Go to the site and download qt4 its free or go to www.apple.com and download it there Good luck and enjoy Almost time! |

27 Jan 00 - 08:33 PM (#169429) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: Áine Good on ya, mehitabel! I should have pointed out that Quicktime is for BOTH Macs and PCs. Counting the minutes 'till showtime! -- Áine |

27 Jan 00 - 08:44 PM (#169435) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: katlaughing Aine, did it keep popping up with the Installer when you downloaded? Everytime I've installed it, when it was done it has gone right back to the beginning of Install! I hope it did its thing, 'cause I really want to see these guys! |
|
27 Jan 00 - 09:40 PM (#169460) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: Áine Apparently, there's a new installer file that it has to use. I went through the installation again after it downloaded the 'new' installer. However, I haven't gotten it to work on Netscape yet. I gave up and went over to the dear hubby's computer and used the Devil's own Microsoft IE and got a picture of an empty stage, but no sound and nobody on stage yet. -- Áine |

27 Jan 00 - 09:57 PM (#169471) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: katlaughing That's better than I've got, Aine! I've downloaded and installed six times, even used the old installer. It says I have it installed and I still get the basically blank page. Darn it! I guess these things are always an experiment the first time. Kind of reminds me of all the old 78's wiht different sized holes; all the different players ya gotta have to work each site. Ken & Kim, I hope you will do this again. Sorry my 'pewter and I didn't work it out. katlaughingnot! |

27 Jan 00 - 09:59 PM (#169474) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: Áine Mehitabel, Try shutting your 'puter down completely and turning it on again. We've got a lovely 'dial tone' coming out of the speaker now. I'm leaving it on -- maybe they'll figure it out by the last bloody song . . . -- Áine |

27 Jan 00 - 10:10 PM (#169481) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: katlaughing Did that, still nothing, can't even get text on the page so that I can read the Mission. Hope they try it again with a different plug-in. katsighing |

27 Jan 00 - 10:17 PM (#169487) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: catspaw49 I haven't posted, but I'm glad you two computer aces were having problems too. Well not really, but I'm such a dumbass that its always reassuring. Sorry I (and you guys) can't get the show. Maybe another time and we'll (you'll) see if it can be figured out. Sorry Ken. Spaw |

27 Jan 00 - 10:22 PM (#169489) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: Lonesome EJ Thanks for the word on the show! The audio was crystal clear, the video was terrific... all in all one of the most wonderful internet experiences I have been witness to. Anyone who missed this should chase two bottles of Sominex with a quart of Romilar.

I don't know about the quiet at the center, but there sure was some powerful quiet on this broadcast tonight . . . I've never heard quieter step dancing -- talk about your soft shoe ;-) Ken -- It looked like a great show -- just wish I could have heard it. Better luck next time and we'll try it again. -- Áine |

Ken & Kim, your thread is experiencing what some call thread creep but others prefer to call thread drift. One can generally count on almost any thread going off on several tangents, a sort of freefall of associations among the fertile minds of the Mudcat, before it is truly done for. So....consider yourselves one of us and know that you've been thread drfited! |

28 Jan 00 - 12:37 AM (#169561) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: Lonesome EJ You mean you still have unsuspecting Luddites in Wyoming? Here in Colorado, all of our Luddites have become extremely jaded, to the point where it's nearly impossible to put anything over on them. Where is Ludd anyway? Isn't that where Brendy lives? |

28 Jan 00 - 07:33 PM (#169974) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: Áine So, what's the latest with this thing? Does this 'dotcast.com' place do regular music broadcasts (*with* music, hopefully)? Is there any chance that we might Ken & Kim again soon there? It just seems like a great idea, I hope they get the bugs worked out soon! -- Áine |

28 Jan 00 - 11:43 PM (#170067) Subject: RE: Simulcast celtic and folk show From: katlaughing Here is an email I received from Jim Greer today. Looks like they tapped into a lot more than expected. (Hmmm, kind of like Mudcat Radio once, if I remember correctly.)For any tech questions, Áine, you should probably go to their site and contact Jim. He's been very good about getting back to me. Here's what he had to say: "Well we tried but we got so many hits that we did not expect our servers would not carry the load. It comes back and haunts us us again MORE BANDWITH !!!!! "We will be playing their albums for a week or so so tune in starting monday and enjoy. "We will be doing a live show with them in a controlled space and doing a video of the show so we will keep everyone up to date. Thanks for you support Jim Greer"

I'm sure that they'll be able to work out the bugs. I'll be tuning in on Monday to hear your friends play and I hope everyone else who tried to catch the show on Thursday will do the same. Thanks for keeping us up to date on what's going on! This will be a really nice venue when everything gets smoothed out, don't you think? -- Áine |
