*I* didn't have them, **** for brains. My father did. Unlike everyone in
your family, my dad was quite accomplished in a number of areas,
including music and painting.

What has anyone in your lineage every accomplished?

Uh, they invented the airplane!? I am related to Orvill and Wilbur
Wright..... How about you?

Has anyone besides me noticed that most literary references Harry
makes are books we all read in the eigth grade? I still don't think he
got out of High School with his skin... snerk

The most corrupt congress in history, holding hands with the most criminal administration in history, we're screwed..

I'm sure he got pretty well banged up in high school. Somehow I don't
think white smart asses were well received at his school.

She was good, no doubt. Too bad it isn't a B3.
Here's a B3. In fact, in some of the sections of the video, Monaco
is playing the exact B3 I have in the music shop. I have pictures
and a CD of him playing it that came with the organ when I bought it.
He has an interesting background. As a young kid, around the age of
11, he was learning to play an accordion but contracted some form of
a neurological disease. He totally lost control of the muscles that
control finger movements. He had to relearn, by shear will power,
the ability to control movement of his hands and fingers. Even
today if you watch closely the way he forms chords on the organ
keyboard and attacks the keys is a bit different from what you would
normally expect.

Great organist, to be sure, but even though he is playing a tribute to
Jimmy Smith, Jimmy Smith he ain't.
You know what? You don't know what you are talking about. There is
no way you even bothered to watch or listen to the Tribute that I
linked. It's over 13 minutes long and the tribute doesn't start until
about half way through. You responded to the link within 4 minutes of
me posting it. There's no way you could have even heard it.
I call BS.

I am having my annual Tent Party, and I am wondering if I should bring
out my B3 organ and play to entertain the crowd. If i do, I think I
might actually rent some tents. ;)

Man, having yard tents for your Annual Tent Party would be off the
hook!
It is a radical concept, but what the heck. I am wondering if anyone
has a recommendation for a good source of fabric that would breath as
well as cotton, yet strong enough to be able to cover 3 footballs
fields. I want to cover half of my backyard, and leave the other half
open so people can play golf on my par 3 course.
Did I hear 'golf'?
Should I bring my cart?

Yeah, when I was a kid my uncle up in Lynn had an old player piano and
dozens of reels. We would (me and the cousins) would sit around and
play with that thing all day long. You had to pump two pedals on the
base if I remember correctly... It was cool, you will never see
anything like that again outside of a museum now I would guess..

-----------------------

Player pianos are still made, although they have electric motors for pumps
and the rolls are somewhat hard to come by.

There's another option however. We have a Samick Grand Piano in which we
had a QRS "Pianomation" system installed. It is mounted behind the keys
within the piano and has solenoids that operate the piano hammers. The
solenoids follow instructions from a CD disk player in terms of what note to
strike with all the parameters associated with playing it manually,
(velocity, sustain, etc.) The instructions on the CD are in a proprietary
QRS format, however I discovered a free software program that converts
digital midi to the QRS format and can now download non-copyright protected
classical piano performances from the 'net and play them on the piano. And
yes, just like the old player pianos, the keys on the piano are actuated by
the QRS system. Little kids eye's bug out the first time they see it.

Not done yet, but would be interested if anybody has problems hearing the

It works fine on my computer, but don't know how it works in general for

The picture, BTW, was taken by my younger son John. He framed it and gave

point and shoot that does some very good close up shots. I modified the
background of the picture to give the shadow and fill to make it blend into

I recorded the guitar selection "live" at the shop last Friday. The front

I wish. No, it was done by a friend who stopped in. If I end up using it,
I'll give attributes.
I can play, but not like that. When I try to do harmonics, my fingers just
stop the string.

BTW ... picked up a Gretsch Country Classic. It's basically the Country
Gentleman model without the "Gentleman" name. Chet Akins kept the rights
to "Country Gentleman" when he moved over to Gibson. Gretsch simply renamed
it to Country Classic.

Player, Real Audio or QuickTime. I've tried setting the properties to
WMP, but for some reason it defaults to QuickTime. I haven't figured out
why yet.

Understand. I forgot about Mac owners, they probably use QT. RealAudio is
the real dog.

Good luck with your venture.

Do you have quicktime configured so that it's the default media player
in the Windows environment? That may be why the website software is
defaulting to it.

We mac owners (well, this one, anyway) prefer *.avi format movies,
though I can't say that I've had any problems with QT or QT movies. QT,
as you have guessed, is pretty much an integral part of using a mac.

--------------------

Nope. The guitar file is an .mp3. I have Windows Media Player as the
default for .mp3 files.
The webhosting software (Sitebuilder) allows you to choose Windows Media
Player, Quicktime or Real Audio as the desired player in the properties
menu. I selected WMP and published it to the website, but for some reason
it goes to Quicktime. I've tried several times now, doing it carefully, so
I don't think it's something I am doing wrong.

No big deal. I'd just like to know why.

First, we are talking about .mp3 files, not video files.
However, we PC owners prefer .mp4 format movies. High Definition capable.
QT will play them.

You're using QT for sound files?

Wow.

I prefer *.avi files for movies, even HD movies. Work fine on my HD dvd
player and my HD tv. Since that works just fine, I haven't felt a need
to experiement.

Officially, Microsoft prefers Windows Media (WMV is available in SD
and HD) and Apple prefers Quicktime, delivered as H.264 or MPEG4.

They are both processor intensive.

Your local machine is configured to playback mp3 files using
Quicktime.

Reconfigure the default settings in your control panel that's used to
set default programs.

Apple was a very early adopter of mp4 format.

But I digress.

When you say it defaults to QT, are you exporting the file as a wma
file? You might want to check how it's being converted also - I ran
into that with some videos I was compliling recently.

Also make sure that you are exporting wma files - QT likes to think
that it owns .mp4 files for some reason.

Thanks but not so. It's configured to play mp3 via WMP. If I select and
click on an mp3 in a folder it automatically opens with WMP. Plus, this
morning to be sure I checked the default program associations. mp3 is
assigned to WMP.

I don't understand why the webhosting software gives you the choice of
player, but selects QT regardless of selection. No big deal, but it is
curious.

Maybe a restriction of the webhosting service. They configure servers
to support certain file formats. Don't know if this is what's at play
in your case but there's potential.

Not sure it's the server, but I just remembered something. I use Firefox
99.9 percent of the time but had forgotten that it does not support Windows
Media Player. I opened the referenced page in Internet Explorer and sure
enough, the guitar music is played with WMP and not QuickTime.

If you open the link in Firefox, the mp3 of the guitar will play using QT
If you open with IE, it plays with WMP.

It's a Firefox thing.

No it's not - I just clicked on it again in IE 8 and it comes up QT.

Here's some added confusion:

I had installed the plug-in to allow WMP to play in Firefox a while ago in
another computer.
What it did was this: It added play, pause, stop and volume controls to the
little mini QT player.
Before the plug-in, it played with QT but without the controls. After the
plug-in it still played in QT but the controls were added.

That was a while ago and on a XP machine. Maybe the newer plug-in actually
enables WMP.
I'll try it sometime.

I tried it in Firefox and it wouldn't play. Windows played it but asked
if I would allow java script. Talented guy by the way
