Treefrog, have you been walkin' in the woods? ;-) That forest rocks... as do the gov't mule tapes i downloaded yesterday. Ended up bein' grayt(lucky4me) poker playin' music last night. ;-)
I stilll haven't tried to burn a cd but I will soon. Thanks for posting your steps too. This was so of John R to share with the board. Enlightenin' us to all this free live music available. You rock dude!
Can't wait to show my SIL, who goes around singin' ....in the moonlight, in the midnight moonlight all the time....
Me showin' them somethin' new with tunes and the puter should blow their little 's away, since it's usually the other way around here. ;-)

Yup.

I just downloaded Dread from MagnoliaFest 2004 this AM. Looking forward to getting it converted.

John R-

Before I do a 369MB download just to satisfy my curiosity, what's in the directory you posted named "seaside" at tapers.org?

it's part(or whole, i forgot) of a piano concert that i put up for a friend who tapes baroque and classical(?) organ music out in cali. i should probably pull it.
you guys are really working through that server.

let me know when you're done, and i'll point you to another great source for tunes.

So it seems like the files I've found so far are mostly bluegrass/string band, jam band, or old Pink Floyd.

Are there any FTP sites with a wider variety?

I've done some Googling, going to do some more, but finding the going slow.

www.archive.org >> live music archive >> enter your desired band in the search field...

it's direct transfer, so you won't need to use your ftp client, or you can stream.

if you want to learn how to bit torrent, you can try bt.etree.org and dimeadozen.org ( you will need to register and they only have 100,000 memberships available. so, don't be discouraged if you don't get a login the first few times, keep trying) remember, you must keep your transfer widow open to keep your ratio high.
