New File on Google Docs

I believe a message should have gone out alerting the group to a new file I just posted to the TaterBugMusic folder on google docs. Sorry for the duplication but I just want to make sure Google Docs is operating as expected and folks can get to the files in reasonable fashion. Let me know if this i

Mississippi Palisades - SOTM - Jan 2011

Seems FaceBook has kinda divided the group a bit and there's more video posting going on over there. To update everyone on the SOTM, I thought I'd send out and email with all of the folks posting video. Some of it is only on FaceButt... but here's the list (sorry if I missed anyone): Jonas: htt

Crazy! This should then allow us to use this Google Doc folder to share files amongst the group (hopefully). Therefore, to join in the fun, it would seem you need to: 1. Go to Google Docs (or if that doesn't work go to the folder directly

Hey Jason, I'm confused... if you weren't able to see the TaterbugMandoGroup, what folder did you perform 4a on? That should be the missing link to getting everyone in on this... B On Fri, Jan 14, 2011 at 1:36 PM, Jason Hill wrote: > Brian, > I did the below and at Step #2, the TaterbugMandoG

Hey Group, Another test of the TaterbugMandoGroup google doc folder. Robin may have found the work around for the bug keeping this from working for us. Could I get a couple folks try testing this... I made Mike the owner and now it shows up under my "Folder shared with me" section AND, since I

Ha! Nice find Robin. Looks like members of the group can self-add (share) themselves to the folder. Interesting. Now the question is: does doing this count against my data quota or do we each chip in? Interesting... This may or not be the solution we're looking for but it cain't hurt to give'r

Okay, thanks for the testing. I believe I've gotten to the bottom of this. There's currently a bug in Google Docs that does not display folders shared with a group... they have apparently acknowledged this and are working on it. This might be a viable solution to the group file sharing issue shortl

Mississippi Palisades is a state park in Illinois. Chirps, like myself, is a former FIB (in mixed company: Fine Illinois Brethren) that now calls Wisconsin home... currently, the whole state of Wisconsin is painted red due to Badgers playing in the Rose Bowl today (GO BUCKY!). Sorry, I digress..

At the risk of tipping the scale a bit, I talked to Chirps this morning and told him we might be doing his tune for the SOTM. I invited him over to record some video of him doing MS Palisades (and likely others) this weekend and I could post it for the group. Should be a fine time... and there wil

Not sure what the rules are for choosing SOTM... but if'n y'all want a great tune to learn, I'll suggest Mississippi Palisades by Chirps Smith. I'm very likely the only one in the group that knows it and that should definitely change 'cause it's a great one. I have Chirps doing it (banjo/fiddle)

I'm a huge Elvis Costello fan. He's in my top 3 non-grass musicians of all time. When Mike told me he was going to record with him, though I don't typically buy into such crap, I asked him to get his autograph for me. He did and it's on my fridge (thanks Mike!). I wouldn't think the mando communi
