you can find a copy of the recent Drama On 3 Bix: Singing The Blues as well as 2f zip files (Bix & Lewis) of recordings by Bix Biederbeck and Lois Armstrong. Although I did not emerge from listening to this paly with any new insights in either Bix or Louis or jazz, the voice acting was compelling / hypnotic (even though Louis did not sound like a even a young Louis - you can hear his voice on some of the recordings) I did feel for 90 minutes or so that I was a fly on the wall.

Thank You Reuben,
I will avail myself of many of your offerings now because I suddenly last week lost my newest and largest hard drive, 3 Tb of many genres including all my music files. Thank You! ----------------------------- R
Good Grief! !! What kind of hard drive? brand name? I keep dvd backups (even though it would be another life time re-installing all the back ups to a new hard drive)
I was in the process of backing up all the new stuff I had. I am now backing up on BluRay. Anyways it was a 3Tb WD (Western Digital) USB2-USB3 Hard rive and about 1 year and and had approximately 2.5 Tb on it of every genre. I always put those i really want to keep and backup on my newest Hard Drive. What happened was that I got a new computer with USB3. I had used the hard drive on USB2 for about a year. Approximately 10 minutes after I plugged it into USB3 it was dead, no warning, no noise, just nothing. I tried putting it on USB2 again and it still wouldn't work. It installed OK but nothing. I tried everything. All my new acquisitions except those i had already put on BluRay were lost along with all my ebooks, proghrams and passwords, music Files, files of every genre in folders waiting to be put on 25 gig BluRays, all my UFO Talk show files, and many other things that were near and dear to my heart. Guess it didn't like going 6 times faster. I really don't know. I had once before lost a small external that i was testing backing up on and taking off line and putting in a drawer the way that was touted on the net. 6 months after i did that I read a piece stating that if you did this you needed to put it back line and take info and put info back on it at least once every other month. Horrors, I then took it out of the drawer to do this since it had been 6 months and that drive was dead. Luckily it was a true back-up and I did not l;ose the info, but this time there was no hope and a little under 3 Tb was gone in a nanosecond. In our cases it does no good to even get the recovery insurance since most of it is bootleg. Anyways it's all gone, approximately 1/3 of my collection and did i mention all my private photos and keepsakes along with telephone #s and addresses of old friends. It was devastating.
be careful of DVD backups they use vegetable dies in most DVDs and these can dry out and ruin the disks. I went to BluRay from a company named Digistor who make their own disks just for backup with Synthetic dyes guaranteed to last forever. --------------------------- R
