Jouni, are you saying the video won't play in your region? That is sad! Perhaps you can try a VPN?

Here's the good link for Jody:

Somehow it got set to 'draft' instead of 'public'... I blame lack of sleep, I didn't sleep well Thursday night, I was able to rent a CPAP for Friday/Saturday, slept like a log.

Here's Carco's Friday set... he also has one on Saturday, so we'll eventually get to that one too.

Thank you again Carco for your hard work making the Rick Alexander Showcase come off... aside from me, he spent the most time in the Room.

Here's Bob Blair and Olli Haavisto's set... pure magic. Proud to have Bob playing my weiss... Olli's playing Jana Lockaby's Beard. Both Bob's guitars were lost by American Airlines... he got them back Sunday afternoon, just in time to have to carry them home! I'll get Bob's solo set up soon.

Thanks Steve - Actually in terms of the delayed guitars Air Canada was the guilty party! Thanks for all your hard work!

A VPN (Virtual Private Network?) allows you to hide where you're located... also allows you to encrypt from end-to-end, this is how they get through the Great Firewall Of China, for example. At first I thought the video was blocked by region.

YT threw me for a curve... they've defaulted to making all uploads 'private' or 'draft' unless you check the 'public' box... but when I watch 'em I see 'em just like normal.

Having problems cutting and pasting too... not sure what's going on, I've caught up on my sleep so I'll have to find another excuse!

Stephen, thanks so much for all of your efforts and for posting all of these. The stage and sound and overall vibe in the non-pedal room was excellent. Great performances, and audio/video quality! Cheers.

Wonderful job. I enjoyed them all and I'll definitely be woodshedding Carco Clave's set.

Just added Pete, Ivan, and Margie. Sadly, I found that I had screwed up Roger's video... again, lack of sleep gets blamed... you know something's wrong when you go to start the camera and it's already running... you really have to look closely at that red dot! Anyway, TTT.

Stephen,

Could you check your parameters (maybe the public/private setting?) on the Jim Pitman video. It won't load. Thanks.

Thanks for the clue, Rich... the upload 'was abandoned'... I'm re-uploading now, should be up in a couple of hours. I'll post here (and change the link) when it's done. Sorry about that Jim!
