Much as I would enjoy hearing the female chatters (are there any other variety!) swooning at the sound of Steve mangling the English languge.
And yes Steve "You Too Can Sound Like Sean Connery"Shurely Shome miShtake the Bondsman is yet another mangler
I am afraid the voice chat room is long gone.
What Ron so fondly recalls was a Yahoo group that Valerie Magee started at:-
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group...tfootchatroom/
if you go there it now says:-
"This club is no longer in use for chat or messages"
We abandoned it after innumerable intractible problems of access etc but it was fun while it lasted
It did spawn a one time (back in 2002) the very active Guitar chat Yahoo group which in turn led to 2002's short-lived incarnation of the GL Tribute Band
which had its own Yahoo group at:-
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group...htfootTribute/
and the web site at:-
http://mageenet.org/LightfootTributeBand/
which was only made possible by the members taking it in turns to play a piece for the others.
That was one of the problems with the Yahoo system if I recall correctly only one speaker at a time.
But there are other means of using voice in chat rooms including
which I see now includes video- good for demonstrating guitar fingering (and seeing how beautiful the female chatters are!!)

and the Instant Messenger stystems of AOL and MSN but the current Friday Chat room using either a browser applet or mIRC does not have this feature. Anybody wishing to restart a guitar playing chat should in the first instance contact Ed Mullen at
ed@edmullen.net I expect he would be delighted to join in as the earlier Paltalk arrangement died out due lack of interest
John Fowles
P.S.Of course if Steve and any other folk who walk on their heads wish to set up and publicise an alternative voice capable chat room at a more suitable time for them (or indeedy use the existing arrangement of the applet stored on my site etc;it is always there for anybody to use not just the Friday evening session I run)
be my guest.
I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips.
I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this.
I can see what you believe in,
When his name is mentioned, and I die.
I can watch the way you walk,
The way you talk,
The way you close your eyes.
