Note that the pix of the ales and Tom's studio,as rearranged in his upstairs living room for our visit, are from my own collection of Massey 2006 pix: I also have a number of fairly good video clips taken with that camera. including a wonderful 4 minute plus one of the multitude covering the superlative Seven Island Suite (see below). but I played them all and strangely found no sign of Val However it forcibly reminded me that I had uploaded all the videos (which are in Apple Quicktime *.mov format) to my web site with a view to allowing access to all who read this forum and had started contacting everybody to try to avoid upsetting anyone by showing their picture or performance without their explicit permission. I did contact a few but the best video SIS which IMHO is a splendid record of the atmosphere nay bedlam of one of these jam sessions has so many people in it that it would take more time than I can spare to contact everybody!! Therefore since it is there you are invited to try this. If you do not have the Quicktime player then get it!! Alternatively you should be able to save it by right clicking on this link:- http://www.johnfowles.org.uk//LIGHTF...land_Suite.mov and then using the FREE SUPER © ...Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Rendererto convert that mov (and any flash video *.flv) files to say the more user friendly but larger MPEG forrmat in order to

• play in Windoze Medaia Player
• burn to a VCD (Video CD) or a DVD to play on your television set

Comments please .If you all approve I can provide more links especially to Ron Jones' sweet "Face Of A Thousand People" and Mellissa Joe's sublime interpretation of "Heaven Help The Devil..... May He Have few Unpleasant Memories" to give it its full title,
All with a view to inspire/encourage as many as poosible to make the pilgrimage to Massey in only 4 months time! So get saving
