Just thinking a bit more Yves an alternative would be for you add yourself and your location and upload the picture to
the corfid member map at:-
http://www.frappr.com/corfid
as discussed in topic:-
http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb...=003558#000000
If you go there you will find that the map of members in Europe is nearly bare



there are actually three of
us in the UK plus David Bradford over in Sweden. I doubt if the map of France will ever be over filled or able to show many members until your fame spreads.I also think it way overdue for corfid's creator Florian to add Vienna,Austria to the roster. Which reminds me that there is one other keen Austrian fan (in Saltzburg) ex-Ontarioariorian Peter Schinwald (his sister was born in Orillia)
See his February 1998 maiden Newsgroup posting at:-
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.m...103446c?hl=en&
Pete has a GL page on his own web site http://www.pete.at
(presumably not many "Petes" in Austria!!) at:-
http://www.pete.at/music.htm
and some 1975 photos from Munich at:-
http://www.pete.at/glmunich75.htm
including:-

Note Peewee Charles
and

Did somebody forget to shave???
Pete revisited the town of Washago Ontario

in 1975 see:-
http://www.pete.at/washago.htm

and has visited corfid at least once (in 1999)
see his 21 September entry in the guestbook at:-
http://www.corfid.com/gl/gbook1999.htm
That was in fact the day after Florian announced that corfid was open for business (see his Newsgroup posting at:-
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.m...b705c3?hl=en&)
the Newsgroup has of course been around rather longer (since November 1994 in fact) see:-
http://makeashorterlink.com/?M3B512891
although its creator Wayne Francis' earliest Newsgroup posting (to a test group) was on 22 September 1992 see:-
http://groups.google.com/group/ca.te...fbbd6ef?hl=en&
(Wayne apparently posting from San Diego)
he later posted re Gordon on another Newsgroup rec.music.folk
including a reply to a question subject:-
"Any Info on Gordon Lightfoot 3-cd set from Canada???"
on November 13th 1992 at:-
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.m...0f6d507?hl=en&
and to which he posted the following on November 12th 1994 under the subject title
"PROPOSAL: alt.music.gordon-lightfoot "
"I am proposing the start of a newsgroup to discuss the music of Gordon
Lightfoot"

Please forgive me for going on in rather great detail but having started I decided to complete some historical research that I intend to incorporate when I sooner or later get "around to" trying to complete my long planned GL "webring"
All I need now is a "round tuit"
