  1. I used to post images (photos or whatever...) hosted externally, so as not to load BC servers, or my 'quota', with stuff. It worked for many tears, but I've stopped doing that, now, as my 'host' site, Imgur, have made it very difficult to have an ID and keep it, without having to change Pwd every too often. To such a point that I don't now know how to log into there, and couldn't find any Help from them. I've lots of stuff there, but copied it over to Google (not so good as a host, but they don't mess me about, so...). As it happens, I post far fewer images these days, but for those wishing to post a lot, consider hosting the pics elsewhere..? Not Imgur, though, obviously.
  2. Try 'Reporting' your own post (the three little dots, top right of every post...); this will attract rapid attention from the Mods and Admins, who will be able to either talk you though it, or do it in your stead. Try it, maybe..?
  3. ... and you've still not sorted out your keyboard..? ...
  4. 'In stock' does not mean 'to hand', I suppose. If they had to open up the packaging of a new bag, and it didn't fit as you would like, it's no longer 'new' for another customer. If you'd gone to the shop, they may not let you try your test on new gear, either, for the same reason. Unreasonable..? A bit 'limit', I'd say, but not so unusual.
  5. A bridge or neck pickup..? ...
  6. I watched the videos; I have no idea what the fuss is about. either saw nor heard anything at all special, quite the opposite. She appeared to be distracted, trying to do too many things at once, and none of them well. It sems to be a very odd way of playing music, but what would I know..? Not for me, sorry.
  7. The Winners are those that participate; the Losers are those that decide not to listen to their works.
  8. Downloaded; thanks for the 'heads up'.
  9. May I suggest the use of the 'Report' feature, to be found in the 'three little dots', top right of every post, when there is anything found to be distasteful..? It brings the Reported post to the attention of the Mods and Admin, where rapid and effective action is taken, depending on the merits of the Report. Much better than simply abandoning, and it helps keep the entire site on track. Just a suggestion; peace.
  10. I'll admit that I couldn't listen right to the end, bu there was nothing nefarious that particularly shocked me in the snare sound. It gets a resounding 'Bof' from me.
  11. Keeps it further away from his ears. (Not really a 'ride', though; more of a 'trash', a technical term, cymbal...)
  12. A fine initiative indeed, at £15 + £2 p&p for a pack. The 'direct from ACS' price is £10. What's that all about..?
  13. Our annual festival (now moved on to a bigger town; it outgrew us...) had, for over ten years, one full-time salaried Director, three or four full-time 'trainees' on minimum or gov. grant salaries, a volunteer full-time committee of a couple of dozen, and, for the main event in the summer, about three hundred volunteers for setting up, running, then packing down, the long week-end. Multiple stages, many 'off' activities, street artists and 'open' stages. All the artists, security staff, sound techs and hire companies that required payment were paid; those that performed for free were treated the same as the headliners. There was never any question of 'some folk are paid, why not everyone..?', and the event paid for itself (modestly...) just about every year. Having served many years on the committee, I, and hundreds like me, have splendid memories from those days, working alongside a great team, creating a wonderful and varied event for the benefit of all. Were some of the 'ambulants' serving food commercial..? Yes. Did we pay to have generators on site..? Yes. Was it a 'pro' team that erected the main stages..? Yes. Was that an issue..? No. It was a rich mix of benevolent colleagues and paid artists, professionals and street vendors in which everyone gained. Happy daze.
