A few festive thoughts

I have been known to be a geeky type,but now I have decided to come out of the dude closet. I have spent more than a few hours on line using my geekiness and access to OPEN SOURCE video and audio editing programs and hopefully will bring some cheer to a select few. I have so much enjoyed being a part of the Quarrymen and really feel a part of something unique that also sounds beautiful and melodious.
Our Navy band concert will definitely go down as my singing highlight of the year and here is where where I introduce my advetures in OPen Source.
If this does not make any sense , don't worry, some things are better left un-understood.
First thing I have done was to copy the audio from the video and now have each song copied minus all the jabbering ,sorry James. And the harty applause. Eah song is in MP3 format which should be playable on most cd players,ipods, dvd players and even car stereo.
I hope to post all these songs in a format of choice complete free to download,copy or distribute. Or even listen privately for hours on end.
A small selection is attached to this now email/blogpost.
The next step is bringing the outer ring into the inside. Many of our Qaurrymen do not have valid email addresses and this came as a surprise to me. I have made songs playable on cellphones as well and have copied some of them into ringtones. The next and last project for 2009 is to convert some of the pictures into a format to be used on cellphones as a wallpaper and the like.
With these thoughts I wish you all a happy ,safe and melodious festive season.
Regards
Benson,the Bass
