Blogging problems

I'm still having trouble uploading pictures, for some reason. I have no idea why; will keep trying, though. In the meantime, if anybody has any interesting stories, articles, links, etc., they'd like to contribute, please do. They'll blog OK. KBB

8/30 - Still can't make it work. I've found that if I wait a few days, the problem usually resolves itself. Seems to be the nature of the beast.

8/31 - Still trying. Rebooting didn't do it; reinstalling my AOL this morning didn't do it; maybe when I get Eddie Caner's desktop computer (soon), that will do it. He says it's powerful & fast. He better be right.

9/9 - I have Eddie's computer now, but it may be a while before I get it set up and get the rest of my ducks lined up. Once I do, it should be a cinch. (What am I going to do with 1 gig of RAM and 400 gig hard drive?) Will let you know when I have this blog going again. Thanks for your patience. KBB
9/29/06 - Eureka! I finally did it!! On a help site for Bloggers today, I read where Firefox is the browser to use if you want to be able to download pictures to your blog, so I downloaded Firefox, and away I went. Paul Jackson sent me a whole bunch of great pictures, so I got off to a good start. My new monitor arrived yesterday for Eddie's computer, but I don't know when I'll get around to hooking it up. Have to make room for all that stuff first. Send your pictures, news, articles, etc. I'll be adding more and more stuff to this blog. KBB

This is your captain speaking

Hey, I looked pretty good before we did "Scheherazade" (and the rest of you did that Third Rach Concerto). It was memorable, to say the least. The pianist probably lost 10 pounds getting through it. Our conductor probably gained a few more gray hairs.

Anyway, I want you guys to start sending in stuff for this blog -- it's YOUR blog. I want photos (like the Craycraft baby whenever he or she arrives), stories, links, you name it.

For all you clarinet aficionados (and other 'real' musicians)

If you happen to be in Omaha on Sept. 24, you might want to drop in on Gene Williams' (Dr. Eugene Williams) recital. Check it out:
