Dan Gould Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 Links to the downloads have been posted in the first post! Good luck and happy listening! Rapidshare has limits on how much you can download if you are using a "free" account but there are ways to defeat that. If you have a high-speed modem, simply unplug and re-plug the device. You'll have a new IP when you go on (close your rapidshare browser window first) and you can download the next portion without waiting an hour or two. How can you tell if you have a high speed modem or not? (Stupid question of the week/month/perhaps year, but I really don't know.) MG If you have a broadband connection, you have a high-speed modem. If you "dial-in" to your ISP, you don't. Quote

king ubu Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Oh, and notice that the album designers got the spellink right, not like Hoagy... Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Oh, and notice that the album designers got the spellink right, not like Hoagy... An interesting remark from one for whom neither English nor American is first language. Why side with us? MG Quote

An interesting remark from one for whom neither English nor American is first language. Why side with us? MG Indeed. Is there a "u" sound in "color"? Quote
king ubu Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Oh well, just because... and yes, of course it's colour (and favourite, too...) As for sounds, english hardly makes any sense concerning writing and actual sounds, does it? wear/hear/here, there/their... no other way than to just learn it, I assume. Not that German was perfect in this respect, but closer for sure. If you learn English as a foreign language, you have to opt for English or American - makes more sense than to change halfway through a sentence. I opted for English - that's all there is to the why.

king ubu Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 And in case that's an offense, you can exchange "English" and "American" by "British English" and "American English" - no offence intended. (Now I do admit that only now, thinking about it, I realised that offence isn't spelled with "s" in British English... but that stuff is hard to know if you're not consciously working on it - which I am not, besides org and some mails, I hardly ever get to use the English language.)

Mr. Bassman Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Add Mr. Bassman - he asked how things are at the rehearsal today, you can send a copy for him along with mine, or I'll make one for him. We'll see each other on a weekly basis due to rehearsals and gigs starting next week. Hi Big Al, yes, it's me and I am signing in! I am sorry, but i forgot to write and post in time for the signup-period to this BFT, so Mikeweil did it. We'll meet every week (normally) and so i can get the delivery soon. As i noticed, the discussion just started ... but i will study the threads after listening, i want all the fun and no spoiling with regards Mr.Bassman Quote
mikeweil Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 Hi Al, my dear friend, the swell discs arrived yesterday, and are a blast! Now I understand why you like my first BFT so much! Will post some guesses later today. Mr. Bassman will drop by tomorrow for rehearsal and get his - two gigs coming up over the weekend. Quote

And yes, between your BFT 18 and Sangrey's BFT 4, that was where I drew most of my inspiration! Can't wait to hear yours and Bassman's responses! Quote
Nate Dorward Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Just a quick note to say that I finally got the discs this Monday--will try to give them a spin soon. Quote
Big Al Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Posted February 14, 2008 Just a quick note to say that I finally got the discs this Monday--will try to give them a spin soon. Good heavens!!!! That was..... what, two weeks after I sent it??? Heck, I could've walked it there faster! Sorry about that, man! Quote
dutchmanx Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 CDs came to Novosibirsk, Russia on February 16th - in 11 days not bad. Got them from my mail box (which is a 2 miles away from my house) only today. Andrew Quote
