I can only suggest Dear char that you try again because for me at least Mende's link correctly surprise surprise opens the page:-
http://www.sendspace.com/file/jdal5f on which I read reassuringly This is the download page for: Name: gl-yoursong.mp3 Size: 2MB The download link is located below. scrolling down seemed the obvious thing to do where I was then delighted to read that link which for me clearly said Download Link: gl-yoursong.mp3 plus this in a red box The download link has been updated (error: #10). You may now download the file and it is in fact a hyperlink to:- http://fs05n4.sendspace.com/dl/ffae5...l-yoursong.mp3 so right clicking on it and then "save target as" works for me and I have now redownloaded the requisite file and it took aboot 20 minutes total on the stoopidly lethargic dial-up:- http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot/your_song.jpg gl-yoursong.mp3 2.24 MB JOhn Fowles Bt |

I also have dial-up, and it worked fine. I just clicked on joveski's updated link....scrolled down to a pulsating red arrow pointing to the song....clicked on the link....LEFT clicked on "save".....picked a destination for the file....and began waiting (due to dial-up).
P.S. there was no error message associated with the link. [ July 05, 2007, 17:09: Message edited by: RM ] |

Interesting! It IS a song that permutes perfectly to his palette. Almost as if Elton & Bernie were inspired by his style for that one. The recording's pretty low tech. Who's Skip Weshner? Also, I wonder why Gord opted to strum rather than arpeggiating (aka "finger picking") which he does very well.

Of The Angels indeed from the above wiki link "Skip Weshner (1927-1995) was a disc jockey on stations in New York and Los Angeles from the mid 1950's until the mid 1980's.

Any others people?? |

Re: MP3: GL singing Your Song
Anybody who has as I have for sometime hankered after at least hearing the Skip Weshner tapes (especially after Mende Joveski's Your Song teaser a while ago see
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showpost.p...13&postcount=6 (It appears that his mp3 is no longer available on the limited time file storage website he elected to utilise) Thos who have not yet heard the 4 CD's worth of off radio recordings will be pleased to hear that a complete set of High quality lossily compressed mp3s (sampled at the highest rate of 320KBPS) is available for download at rapidshare the links and contents of the 4 CDs are listed at:- http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f90...fm-133639.html Alternatively those who can manipulate a torrent or who want a perfect losslessly compressed file set will find a new entry at http://www.dimeadozen.org In accordance with Dime's rules those files are in "FLAC" (Free Lossless Audio Codec) format the good news is that flacs may be played in Windows Media Player after installing the free K-lite Codec pack from:- http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...Codec_Pack.htm and/or burnt to an audio CD using Express Burn which will itself convert them (and can also be set to produce a "continuous" CD with the gap between tracks set to zero When and if you avail yourself of this opportunity you will be able to hear a pair of unreleased "songs" in addition to the aforementioned "Your Song" these being "The Seabird Song" and a brief snatch of "The Doomsday Song" ( the latter both sung by Gord and recited by him) also featured is another unreleased song called "Take It Or leave It". A further alternative is to simply listen to the lower quality streaming version also now available on sugrmegs http://tela.sugarmegs.org/_asxtela/a...hnerTapes.html |
