BFT 249 - Give The Bass Player Some

[clifford_thornton]

I was born in 1977 and the Desperate Bicycles weren't on my radar until 2008 or so...

Anyway, even though Rod guessed everything already, I am still quite enjoying the BFT. Was AWOL for November and will have to go back and listen to Sangrey's... sometimes life just catches up.

I like how the Groovies play Beatles songs like a bar band who's not playing for anybody but the people in the bar. That's how it should be done, straight and to the point, no pretense, just drink up and let loos, nobody's in this but us. Like the Beatles in the Cavern Club. Just a really good bar band.

Great description.  the Grooovies of that era did that so well.  I have a lot of their output from then, and listen to it.  Plus the contemporaneous Chris Wilson solo albums.  All much more convincing to me than their early Roy Loney rockabilly phase.

Can't say that I live in bar band world much past the time it takes to play a gig and get paid. Not enough for me to hold on to after it's over. But the energy and communication (unevolved as it so often is)  certainly is real, and is missing from too many jazz gigs. No reason it shouldn't live there too.

Pardon the interruption, but I need to make a housekeeping post.  (And John, I *will* get to this test in the next week.)

I've run into an issue backing up my site data and had to reach out to the support team of the host site.  The result was a warning about the amount of data.  I'm not fighting them on it, so I've got to make some changes to the encoding of the files.  I've edited the "how to" thread to reflect this and will not waste time/space here with that explanation.  I *DO* ask that *EVERYONE* who is going to present a test PLEASE review the How To (click the words "How To" -- it's an active link to the thread) as it really does make a huge difference in managing the data.  Sorry for the interruption and thanks for understanding.

So  I am understanding I can encode at 320 but you will convert to the lower bitrate? Is it better to just send you at 128 or you want downloads for those who do so to be a bit better?
