Hi, I have a CD ROM from Bela Szerenyi with brilliant photos of his tekeros, he released this on the occasion that he completed the 250th tekero last year. It is a publicity material with very good photos, but let me check with him first if we could use it (can we put on the website something like this: "photo: courtesy of www.szerenyi.hu"?). I could also ask using the mp3-s from this CD ROM the same way, it is of course Hungarian music. I think he will realise the marketing value of this, especially if the reference to his name or website can be made.
