My website is connected to my regular phone account, not to my internet account. I use my phone very little these days. The website was offered as a sort of "bonus" and when I opened the account everybody was still using the phone quite regularly. Times has changed and there is a risk that the phone company soon will ask for a sur-charge for my website. Then I'll close it and ask others to host my Jubilee listings which are the main draws to my website. Thus, may I ask you to now copy everything regarding the Jubilee sections of my website as a safety measure? Then we don't have to start from scratch to do the change-over, OK? Maybe you even should COPY everything from my website! As I understand, your server isn't located in Canada but somewhere in the Pacific. And even a lot of websites which are connected to US servers have all sorts of offerings with movies and soundfiles these days. For example, check the scratchy grooves website and note how much musical programs you can listen to and load down. Well, we just heard from Rob and as you can read, all the HJSN programs, with the exception of the Jack Towers program, are off-limits. But I can supply you with Ellington stuff if you set up a musical website a la scratchy grooves. And I bet that other lym-members too will assist us here! BW, Us in the Cave.

That makes me think you have a certain amount of storage space on your ISP's server you could use. The html file will be pretty small. The sound clips take up space, but they are not part of the html file. It only has links to them. They have to be uploaded to your webspace, and then they will have addresses. I could build you a webpage to post on your site, and link to the soundfiles, assuming your site has the storage space. This could be more likely if the files are compressed. You should do that, so I don't violate copyright. The reason I suggest using your site, your server is in Sweden, not Canada. The rights holders other than Rob are less likely to go to the expense of hiring Swedish lawyers to challenge you, whereas here they'd nail me in a second. You may not have music copyright issues anyway. Most of it will be out of copyright if I'm correct in thinking Europe copyrights recordings for 50 years. Here, copyright lasts 75 years after the death of the maker. d At 12:21 2011-08-21, you wrote: David: I already have Rob's permission to re-post the Jack Towers show for DE-fans. It was briefly on-line last year at Dave Smith's website but naturally disappeared when Dave closed down his site in January 2011. I have suggested that Rob should arrange a "re-broadcast site" for his shows but got no answer at all from him regarding this. I have requested copies of certain "key broadcasts" of his and got them as high-quality CD-Rs. But just having the shows in my own Archive don't carry any "re-distribution rights". And I do not know if all his shows are being donated to the Library of Congress to assist future researchers. BW, CAH.

Why don't you contact him and ask if he could arrange for WAMU to archive that one as a podcast? It would be a podcast, and the sound quality would beat what I can do. The show you're thinking of only seems to have Rob's script - near the bottom of this page http://wamu.org/programs/hjsn/00/november_2000.php I'd be happy to build a page of links to Rob's Ellington-related podcasts on NPR, something like Duke's in Bed but links only and perhaps a very very brief synopsis of each one similar to the links on http://ellingtonweb.ca . I'm reluctant to post his shows myself because you'd need to get permission from Rob, Rhoda, Jack's estate and WKMU. If there's any music played during the clips then there are even more copyright issues need to be dealt with, and I'm not up to it. I'm not willing to spend the money, and it's too much work. You have me busy enough as it is. This one is an interesting interview by someone else of Jack Towers.: http://www.npr.org/blogs/ablogsupreme/2011/01/05/132690625/a-duke-ellington-masterpiece-saved-from-historys-basement It plays nicely here http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=132690625&m=132690771 d At 04:26 2011-08-21, you wrote: Hmm: Any chance that you could host a duo of sound files which take care of the 2 hour interview Rob Bamberger did with Jack and Rhoda Towers back in 2000 when the 60th Anniversary CD-set of the Fargo evening appeared ?
