My father heard a track from JMDLer David Lahm's new CD, "More Jazz Takes On Joni Mitchell" on WGMC radio in Rochester/Greece, New York, USA today. They are available on the web at http://www.greeceny.com/wgmc/radio.html More importantly, cdnow.com has samples of DL's new one at http://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/SID=1744148089/pagename=/RP/CDN/FIND/al bum.html/artistid=LAHM*DAVID/itemid=1338271 Not all tracks are available for sampling on Real format, so I advise you to use Windows Media to play the tracks. The site says that David Lahm's "More Jazz Takes On Joni Mitchell" will be available on February 13. I'm pretty sure that one of the tracks, "Wayne Swirled" was debuted in New Orleans at the JoniFest last year. I like 'em all and I'm putting my money on the line. Congratulations David- this one's another winner. ------------------ <anti-Microsoft rant> I started out listening to DL's clips using the Real format, then switched to the Microsoft Windows Media player, which locked up the entire PC, resulting in loss of some data. Don't switch from Real to Microsoft without booting- the Microsoft product does *not* like to play nicely with others or share its toys. I wish I could say that once I accommodated the Windows Media player (a brand new version BTW), that it did a nice job; it didn't. I wanted to select all of the clips to play sequentially but couldn't. Also, Media Player interrupted every one of the one minute clips repeatedly. <Sigh> I also couldn't figure out how to save the radio station within Media Player so I wouldn't have to access it through the web site every time. I'll bet there's a way to do it (besides using Playlist) but I'm not gonna spend time in a Help file! They seem to have spent lots of time on providing an annoying array of visual accompaniments to the sound rather than making sure that the sound actually works. It took about 5 minutes to figure out how to turn off the stupid pictures. Anyway, the boys and girls in Redmond have failed once again. Thanks Gates, you'll get yours in the end. Lama
