Fun lyrics Jerome,

Comes across as a John Prine tune to me.

"You can pick your nose and your friends but you can

Thanks Russ, smile

It would have taken  forever to download at each setting till I got to the right one.

Cheers

Hi Russ, Thanks for getting back, I should have been more clear on my question...My bad Lol

When uploading to a site the program asks what format      MPEG-4HD 4:3         MPEG-4 HD 16:9

                                                                                      WMV Broadband 320 x 240 30fps

                                                                                      Screen Capture 1920 x 1080 fps   down to

                                                                                      Screen Capture 1024 x 768   15 fps

Plus lots of other sizes.

So many options ...not enough brain power lol

New system, just picked it up... the salesman never mentioned it ...it was a good deal,,, Yes it is XP... What's next.. Oiyyy


Thanks Russ smile

I have recently bought Corel Video Studio Pro x6 and was wondering what screen resolution? should be used when sending a vid to YouTube or just storing in my private files. I just finished a practice vid to see how it would turn out which was OK but it didn't fill the whole screen on the Windows Media Player. I hate seeing the empty borders and would like to fill the whole screen. Clicking on full screen does not do the trick.....H-m-m-m-m.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

I've had a bad back all my adult life. When it goes out it is usually because I haven't been doing my exorcizes so I have no one to blame but me. I have found that concentrating on stretching and exorcizing the thigh muscles gets me back in shape pretty quick. They're the largest muscles in the body (next to the butt I think) and if they start to dry up it affects everything. I feel yer pain Norm, I've had many a morning where all I want to do is just be able to put my socks on. Sorry I can't help you out with the meds, that's between you and your doc.

Hope this helps smile

I'll have to bow out this weekend,relatives coming in from BC so my time will be booked between them and recording. Keep me posted on the next one for sure. Hopefully I can re-hook the skype program without problems.

Have a good jam smile

Howdy Doody Jeff smile
It has been a while since I've skyped (just prior to the stroke) but I'm into it. Just have to figure out how to hook it back up. The old puter is history and I can't remember the steps to achieve skypdom. I recently purchased Corel Video Studio Pro x6 for recording (I'm gonna do it) and find it fairly easy to work but I gotta go slow to keep the anxiety down.
Gimme a month or so and I should be good for a puter jam.

By the by guy........Congrats on hosting Chordiestock2. It looks and sounds to me like you did a bang up job again,
Hmmm Florida in February 2015 sounds like a hoot.

Cheers  Ken

Hey All smile

I read the posts everyday at work cause I didn't have a net connection, just wouldn't/couldn't post cause of the man........but I'm back on line and plan on dropping in more often. I had a small stroke March of last year (they called it a TIA) it set me back some but I'm gooder now. It's funny how posting and spammers come and go in  spurts. Thankfully not as much with the spammers.
Anyways I plan on posting vids of my songs shortly. I found the practice good therapy but the excitement of posting a vid is scary as hell but funny...in a good way for a change.

Real glad to hear everything turned out well for you Nela, that's awesome. smile

Cheers All

Hi Jeff,

It's been awhile for me to be on board as I have no net at home...I'm at work. I'll have a listen when it gets a little quieter here, meanwhile I really like the lyrics on this as I can relate to them bigtime. smile

Canadian Walter Rossi and the band Charlee from 1972.

Lots of great music and bands in the previous threads. It's been mega ages since I've heard Tangerine Dream, Wow that brings back alot of memories. Good to hear they are still playing.
Thanks for that TF along with your mention of Budgie in a different thread.
So many memories...barely left (LOL)

Cheers

Well Done Sir

I can feel your anticipation to Chordiestock way up here in Canada. It promises to be a great time had by all. Sure wish I could be there but alas...maybe the next year.
Cheers all and have a cold one or twelve for me. smile


Here's a link to a site that follows every airplane flyng in real time. It's pretty cool, just type the flight in and it will give all the info of the plane and flight.Where it is (in real time) and if you want, a google view from the cockpit. Handy to know if a flight is on time.

Check it out, it is cool if you know people that fly alot

I think for the person that really is serious about learning to play it is a waste but if you want to get  someone interested in playing it should be a great tool. Remember the first time you picked up a guitar and tried to play an E chord and wanted to quit cause it was too hard. I think if I had this to poke me to play more it would have worked great. Definitely for those that have never ever played guitar, or if you have a spare guitar take it with you to show and jam with young kids teaching them the joy of playing songs with others. Not all kids have this opportunity. It would be perfect for Jeff (Topdown) with the "Instruments4life". By the way, Kudos Jeff, it is a great thing you are doing. smile

Check out this billion pixel image of our milky way galaxy. It is an interactive picture. Drag your mouse to where you want, click to magnify or slide the cursor, wait a second for the image to clear. Go to the bottom left hand corner and fully magnify, it is mind boggling the amount of stars in that one small area, and think the distance between them is measured in light years.......this is just one galaxy of billions.

Alone...I think not smile

Enjoy
Ken

Hands down ..."Saving Private Ryan". Emotionally draining from start to finish.
I know it can't be classified as a movie but "Band of Brothers" is a close second.

Can't go wrong with a good war or action flic.
