Have any owners actually contacted YouTube, or is it you get that email that says, in effect, be careful, our computer detects you're using copyrighted music and YouTube has no agreement with the owner?

DR ChasSmith just sent me a pile of glorious photos of my little Thatch. I have to get a camera and learn how to use it.

I really don't know the best way to send 80+ photos to someone. I tried emailing them in batches of 10-15 pics each, and all but one of the emails bounced. I'm on Gmail, so I just tried again sending the entire batch in one message, via Google Drive downloads. Looks like it went okay, but it might also be a pain in the ass if DR Elmore has to download each picture separately.

What would YOU do Dear Reader?

I have a paid www.sendspace.com account. I would zip the folder into a single zipped file, then upload it to my account, then send the link to whoever would like to download the zipped file. :)

Post by: Jeanne on March 07, 2018, 01:38:25 PM: No snow here, but Internet problems just the same. TimeWarner/Spectrum was down most of the morning. They've been very spotty over the last two weeks. I heard a knock on my door this morning and KNEW it was my next-door neighbor checking to see if I had Internet or if it was just him. I opened the door, saying, "Yes, it's down" before he even had a chance to say anything.

DR JohnG, tell us mire about the Sense and Sensibility. Who performed it? Wrote it?

It was a company called Aquila Theater. Jessica Swale did the adaptation. It should not have been as good as it was, but the audience was captivated from the get-go. Having a six-foot hirsute man play the younger sister Margaret should not have worked. But it did. And it always entertained without demeaning Austen.

Enjoyed her take on Cole Porter's I Love You perhaps best of all. Her All the Things You Are has a pretentious arrangement. And her take on Falling in Love with Love is fun.

Also got a Jim Cullum recording live from the River Walk with Carol Woods as a guest vocalist. Also, Andre Previn conducting the Planets and a collection of Ravel Piano Concertos.
