>> I just wrote down what I thought JP had said.

That's all we could do in those days; some of my phonetic guesses are pretty
comical.

I'll have a listen to the Electric Prunesy track but I doubt if I'll know
it.

BTW I see we've had another 4 members this week, taking us to 790. Don't be
too shy to say hello and, more importantly, whether you've got any tapes to
share!

I see the oldest member is one Martinw, member since 22/1/99 but the first
message was apparently from Les Miller on 1/2/99.
Did you start the group Martin?
The moderator is 'smchughuk', aka Stuart, who didn't join until December
1999; I don't recognise that yahoo ID, but is it the same Stuart who we now
all know as Mojo Babe?

I joined in 2001, mentioned the Colorblind James Experience in my very first
posting, and continue to plug them whenever I can. ONE DAY THE WORLD WILL
LISTEN !!!!!!!!! Or probably not.

I have so far contributed about a dozen tapes and there are more to come. I
just need to decide whether to persist with trying to get Audacity to work
on Linux, or give up and go back to Micr*S*FT.

Cheers

Alan
