Joined: November 2004 Posts: 4413 | It went great. First half only, standing in for a sax player (?) - I can do George Benson impersonations til the cows come home. Unfortunately people alweays think "wow, that guy does good GB impersonations". Nobody ever thinks, "wow, it's GB." Is it cos I is white? Or is it cos I just ain't any good? Delete as appropriate. BTW - if anyone ever wants to know how to improvise, just listen to GB's version of Take Five on the Bad album. It may well be the greatest thing you ever heard. | ||

I just don't have the time to create it. Not talking about just a link, but if you can put together a "tour pictures" model for each, catptions and such, I will host it for ya. I think I have over 1000 pictures accumulated from the first two tours. | ||

The only real slowdown would be captioning individual photos. I also have another good gallery program. I could put it together. What you might want to consider would be to send a set of 24 pics for one thing, that can all take the same heading, another 24 of something else. It could be done pretty easily. I design and maintain our church's web site. There is a quick gallery I made for a recent ladies' retreat you can see... nhbaptist.org Again, like you, Mr. O, my issue is time. But as I said, anyone with Photoshop can export a folder of pix as a web gallery. nhbaptist.org | ||

She said she had owned the Lamas for 11 years... The lady that did the Abalone inlay work was dark haired and did not have any Lamas... She had been working at Ovation for at least 15 yrs... Ab | ||
