Follow up on what was a late night exchange for me. I must have been very tired and hopefully didn’t write too much garbage.
In some computer areas I am absolutely ignorant. I never downloaded a YouTube video until now, when Hans would like to have it. I happened to find <http://keepvid.com/> via Google. I tried downloading a high resolution version, but couldn’t open it. However I got the MP4 version down, and against my expectations I got this large file on its way to Hans. Whether he can use it has yet to be seen. This morning I read the video caption, which lists a trumpet player, Jose Alberto Varona, as member of the Hovedøen ensemble. I strongly suspect, he is the rightmost player in the trumpet section. There happens to be an English Wiki article on Hovedøen, which for Google Earth freaks, like myself, is the horseshoe shaped island right south of downtown Oslo: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hovedøya> Klaus >________________________________ >From: Steven Mumford <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2011 9:35 PM >Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Something not related to tonguing or scams > > > Ha Ha!
