Hi Amy and thanks!

Our friend Doug was kind enough to link me from YouTube to a site called "Mp3 Minus One" and I took a look at them. Their library is quite extensive, but their fee is $3.95 a week. I haven't checked it out thoroughly, but I am wondering if one pays $3.95 per song or if it's $3.95 for as many songs as one can download in a week's time? The information they have is a little sketchy, so I'll check it out again. I'm pretty sure it's not the latter, however.

There's another one called "Band Minus One" which is shareware and one pays a one time fee ($20.00, IIRC), but the funny thing is, if you select another section, it turns into "One Man Band", another animal entirely. Gotta check that one out a little more as well.

And here's something I found out on my own: If one isn't careful and downloads some of these from CNet whose service is called "downloads dot com" (spelled out so it wouldn't create a link). What happens with them is - they appear first in the list under "ads", and "FREE" in tall letters and what one must watch for is "crapware" such as toolbars, etc., etc. one definitely doesn't want. An example of this crapware is called sweet pack. Once that one gets into your machine it's as hard to get rid of as snot on one's finger. I had it once and I had to jump through all sorts of hoops to erase/delete it.

So I did as Doug instructed and went directly to the product's website (after seeing it on YouTube) and will download from there once I define exactly what it is I need.

I will look forward to hearing from Roger and finding out about the service he uses and maybe with all of us together investigating it, I can find just the right service.

As always, huge thanks for "looking after me" in this and other matters. Dondra says hi and sends hugs times a million.

Hi Phill

Good to hear from you. Dondra is doing great. Walking on her own, driving, etc., etc. It's all on the blog if you would care to take a look.

I myself am at my neuro-psych doc being evaluated to see if I'm  any crazier than I was 6 months ago. .

Thanks

Bill

Amy,

As I write this, I am watching her off and on and making sure she's getting her "nappy". You need never worry about me making her life too hard on me or the reverse! I just keep working on ways of letting her know how much I love her!!!!

Your Friend ALWAYS

Bill

Oh heck. I'll just have the great Ben E King play and sing it himself. He could have done a better job than me, anyway......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTd2ylacYNU

That's for y'all by the way......

Your friend always,

Bill

Well, let's just say I'm in negotiations regarding one, TF. Thanks for remembering me!

This is wonderfully and righteously performed. (For those who don't know, I only use the word "righteous", if a song makes me have chill bumps listening to it)

We both could not believe when I played it for Dondra and she wants to me to pass along that she's a fan of yours as well as she loves all the rest of the "Chordie Family".

As for me, I sure would like to add some soft brushes on my snare drum if I could add my contribution that way. I know for a fact that we have plenty of guitarists here who (along with you) could sure do that song up right with the respect it deserves.

Great, Jan!  Just great!

Your friends

Bill and Dondra

Once I get mine, I promise to put myself  "out there", as it were, if I can get my lady wife to hold the phone for me and then see about uploading the vid. Probably won't be very long, but no one's seen me "live" in a while, so I'm up for it and I'd like nothing better than a back to back performance with my friend TF.
