RE: Scanning slides

I've recently scanned many scores of slides, negatives, and prints from both my own work and others: some were shot on crap cameras and on slide film that lost all it's colour after some years of poor storage. Others were more than 100 years old, and in very poor condition. From my own

It's normal to use just the chanter to learn a tune or practice fingering. The full instrument is designed for outdoor use. Preferably a fight, where they excel at rallying the troops and frightening the enemy. I much prefer the smallpipes for their pleasant tone - plus you can sing as you

Re: Scanning slides

Silverfast is good software, but costs a lot and doesn't do anything any better than VueScan. It *might* have a slightly easier user interface for some things. It is also licensed as specific to a particular scanner, rather than able to be used with as many different scanners as it can support

I met Josh White once, at The Gate of Horn - he broke my friend anitra's acoustic guitar I was told earlier - so that was the conversation starter. I knew Bill Broonzy, and Jack Elliot's brother was a friend of mine.. but I never met Jack.  Yes, right on about the Kingston trio. ann On

Re: Thumbs up or down?

Odetta! One of my all-time favorites. I was a folk music snob in college. Baez and Dylan were "Pop" singers, ripping off the real folk artists: Woody Guthrie, Cisco Houston, Ledbelly, Odetta, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Josh White, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, and the Carter Family. Pete Seeger, Harry

Hey, Ann, I also had a folk music show on my college radio station. Never interviewed a piper, but did get to participate in interviews of Pete Seeger and Joan Baez. Joan brought I young lad with her, who said nothing. I later realized it was Bob Dylan, and I missed my chance to talk to him
