Finally. Thank God.

I have the same problems with buffering. 4 to 10 seconds of being able to listen and then several minutes of buffering. Some times it just drops out all together.

Unlistenable. Too bad.

The pictures are so good the sound doesn't matter! They even made Randy Beavers look great! Ha! Ha!

AHHHHH Bill!!!!

Sure hope you don't mind, but I have copied a couple of the shots for my file. Most impressive !!!!!

It is good to see my old friend Roy Rosetta looking so well. The "LOOKING SO WELL" has to do with the enhancement of the photo. Namely, "BARBARA". Please tell Roy and Barb hello for me.

And while you are toting hello's, please lay some good words on John Hughey, Ron Elliot, Russ and Laney, and all the others there, including Ms Lana, for us.

Thanks a million for sharing.
Ben and Mickey O'Dell

I just wanted to add my two cents worth and thank Bill Ferguson and the whole Sound Board gang for their dedication and effort at ISGC 2006. The few glitches along the way were minor. This ole Houston player wanna be.. still appreciates being able to hear some great players from not being able to attend.. Thanks to all who manned the console..

PS.. Also thanks for the great pixs..everyone looks great..

Joe in Houston!!

trying to listen to the Big E just now.
very frustrating to get so much buffering,only getting about 10 seconds of music then silence for 10 and so on.
I guess Ernesto is still blowing his top.
