Hi Folks, Consider that despite the trouble worldwide this year that there have been some nice bits in there too. For instance many of us started using systems like Facebook in earnest to promote their work; quite a number of us have also progressed from online jamming to video-audio live streaming for performances (again, thanks to a few forward-thinking folks on this very list), and the great results continue! One should expect the best in the future, after the good gravel-path-dragging everyone's had the past few years. And so Happy New Year, as Oz celebrates entering 2010... "the year we make contact", hm? :) Cheers, Stephen Goodman * Twelve Days of Christmas #8 at 5pm GMT * http://www.ustream.tv/channel/twelve-days-of-christmas-1---2009 http://www.earthlight.tv http://www.ustream.tv/StephenGoodman http://www.vimeo.com/spgoodman http://www.myspace.com/spgoodman
