Trouble with You Tube?

Post by Calvin Vollrath »

Yesterday & today, when I go to watch a You Tube video, all I get is loading (on the little tv screen)and never get any video. Is this just my computer or are others experiencing the same trouble? I re-booted my computer, also checked on another computer in the house & same thing.

Very cool, Bob-one of the tests for great tone is how it comes through a crappy speaker, and you sounded great. Oh yeah-the playing is top notch, too; nice to hear you stretch out. We'll get up to hear ya one of these days.

Merci messieurs!
Many thanks gentlemen!

J'apprécie beaucoup vos commentaires!
I really appreciate your comments!

My wife Debra decided to bring her little camera to the gig. She never thought that it would pick up all the instruments. It is a great learning tool!

The band keeps blowing me off stage and I keep coming back for more with a smile on my face!

Regards!
Amitiés!

Thanks again for the kind words!

This band keeps me on my toes.

I love the rhythm section and the opportunity to phrase bebop lines with a trumpet and a sax.

Merci! Bob

Bob my brother,

You keep on getting better and better all the time.

These videos are just great. I can't wait to see this project live.

I hope you and Debra will be in St. Louis. as I am looking forward to seeing you both.

Still am waiting for that visit for you and Debra for a weekend. You're welcome here anytime.
(maybe it's a little selfish on my part, eh. Then maybe I can talk you into letting me "steel" some of your "chops".)

Hope all is well there.

Your Pal,
Kurt

Al,
Thanks for taking the time to visit the YouTube clips!


Brother Kurt,
I really appreciate the encouraging words. Debra and I will come for a visit one day. You can count on us. See you in St Louis!


Paul,
I play a 1968 Sho-Bud.

The original mechanism was a crossover.

In 1984, Bob Lucier installed a new mechanism. Al Brisco replaced the keys on the C6th with a keyless.

I use a Webb amp with a Black Widow Speaker. The effect unit is a Peavey Ultraverb.

I have been playing this set-up for 23 years. The tone seems to work well in the types of music I love to play including jazz, country, rockabilly, latin, blues.

See you in St Louis!

Regards! Bob
