Take out this : publiclink] so you have (with no spaces) what should look like this:

[url = http: //www. box. net/shared/gdi4ny5zxq] name of tune [/url]

Then it should work. Assuming you copied the Public Link from box.net properly. Before posting do a preview or go to your C&F mailbox and send the message to yourself. If it works you'll see the link properly displayed.
If it doesn't work PM me what you have and I'll go over it with you by PM.

Boyd, if you checked all the things that Cocus wrote here, make sure that you have BBcode and HTML enabled.
Go to your profile, in the preference section there are YES/NO options, HTML and BBcode being 2 of them.

cheers,
Jeroen

Oh my G-D! I must be technologically challenged or something. I was trying to get all of my tunes on Box.net into a file called Flute tunes so that they would be easily accessible to all without having to download, but.... please, somebody, let me know if your are able to click on them and have them play for you without being downloaded. Thanks, I just have to get away from this for a while.

Jim, thanks. it's kinda a nightmre. I realized the volume on one of the selections is low so I am reloading that particular tune (The snowy path). Thanks for the feedback.

Re: Box.net
I am observing that mp3 files with the extension .mp3 are opening in a player window and start playing automatically, whereas files with extension .MP3 are opening to be downloaded first. So watch out and make your files with lower case letters as SomeFileName.mp3
I observe this with Firefox running on a Windows platform.

Hans,

you are so right. Thanks for the insight!

I guess I am free to continue the assault?

Here's my contribution, as awful as it is. I am a complete beginner and this is the first tune ever on my flute, a brand new Casey Burns Folk Flute.

Rambling Pitchfork

Don't listen to this as an example of "how it is done." I don't know what I'm doing. Listen to the other guys. You have been warned.

I don't suppose I can resist the temptation to chime in with a few tunes myself. So a quick recording was done, warts and all...

I don't have a name for the jig, but it has popped up from a few records after I learned it. Got it from Niall Keegan myself.

As for the reel I paired with Bonnie Anne, I do not have a clue of its origins. A whistle player called Dave Murphy taught it to me a while back, but so far I have not run into anyone else who would play it. So I dearly appreciate any info one might have about that tune.

Fine choice. I've always liked both of them. To tell the truth, I've always enjoyed polkas, ssssh, don't tell to your reel-rippers sessionmates

I should try to refresh them.

The Walls of Liscarrol

I've been having tension problems lately, and I just figured out why. Somewhere, probably on the internet, I read something about pushing hard on the flute with the thumbs to keep it stable... So I have been doing that ever since.

So, I am working on letting go of that. Or rather, letting go of it is easy, but remembering to do so is not necessarily easy. I was surprised by how much bigger my tone got when I gave up my death grip on the flute.

Sylvester · Post by **Sylvester** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 4:11 am

It happens the same to me, William. My grip is far from orthodox. I play on the shoulder, worst of all is that my left hand grip (I'm right-handed) is terrible, I've seen nobody holding the flute like that. The point is that I sometimes -it depends on the day- press too much with the left thumb, it's useless and sometimes painful. I agree absolutely, concentrating on not pressing a lot seems easier to think than to do.

I've updated my clips. You've already suffered enough the former ones, so you have new stuff to punish yourselves

. First is a reel known to me through Matt Molloy. I tried to ape that lively optimistic bright of him, (unsuccessfully, I must add.) Second is a polka learnt from the playing of Harry during the last november Caceres Fleadh. Played too fast, don't blame the teacher, it's a lovely uplifting polka when played properly. As usual, I don't know their names.
