there was another successful chat session last Friday
with a total attendance of I think it was about 10 mostly "the regulars" and including Catmanron fresh from his fire-lighting exercises in Victoria (down under).We will always welcome more especially any curious "newbies" and encourage them to participate in an unfamiliar setting. Tonight as usual there will be a session commencing at 9pm EST the direct link is http://www.rikschatroom.shorturl.com but it is more reliable and quicker if you install the mIRC client full details on my web ite at http://www.mirc.shorturl.com I am hoping that tonight we will see "brink" as per her e-mail to me many thanks. I will also post this on the Corfid discussion forum at http://www.corfid.shorturl.com the corresponding short snappy link for this newsgroup (alt.music.lightfoot) is http://www,newsgroup.shorturl.com Tonight I would like to propose a subject/topic for discussion "How does Gord and the band get so close to the recorded sound in their concert appearances".(I have been listening to another concert recording and the match to the original album recording is quite simply brilliant.I was especially enjoying concentrating on Rick's Bass Cheers John Fowles Finally my Lightfoot "Webring" ringmaster's site is available for you to use at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot please sign the guest book there so I have an idea who is using it and can try to asscertain whether it is still useful as I plan a major revamp soon |

Umm, John that should be Fire Fighting, not lighting, people are very sensitive about that sort of action around these parts... We have now lost over a million acres of forest and pasture this year, and the worst part of the season is yet to come.
Yes I will certainly be there, and next weekend as well. keep smiling... Ron. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif |

And all of a sudden it is Friday again
Last Friday we were a happy crowd of 8 including fire-fighter Ron from Melbourne. I am very sorry that a certain person tried to trivialise our chats in this forum. I will say that I do know that several readers from here have ventured into the room and some have even been known to come back for more!!! So there stick that in your pipe any "caretakers" here and smoke it. It is deliberately meant to be a light-hearted session and any attendee is welcome to bring up any GL related topic at any time. Indeed for tonight my suggested topic is "do we need to set a topic each week and could we set up a rota of duty topic-setter for the following week. also another rota for who will post a reminder here", because like another poster here (from the wilds of a New found land) I am getting old enough to catch the dreaded CRAFT disease:- Can't Remenmber a F****** Thing and am prone to forget to post. Finally if anyone else is offended by the idea of our chat-room and these reminders then in future just simply ignore this subject altogether. Time as usual 9pm EST or 2 am Brit time sometime next century in Ozland. Please see earlier posts above for details of how to get in and get/configure mIRC Cheers John Fowles(Please note that at least I am not ashamed of my name!!) |

We had a very busy session last Friday with a total of 12 attendeees making it somwewhat hard to keep up with all the conversations and topics all the time
Two were recent recruits from the Corfid Discussion Board and we hope the experience was sufficiently rewarding for them to return maybe (tonight at 9 pm EST slightly later in the wilds of a New Found Land to the East) Erica has intimated to me that she might soon be able to produce a compelling essay/guide on why all participants should be using mIRC are you listening Rik?? So I suggest that the topic tonight could be how to use mIRC in Rik's chat room short link http://www.rikschatroom.shorturl.com Lightfoot "webring" at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot [This message has been edited by fowlesjohn (edited February 14, 2003).] |

Friday's Chat room
Last week there were a total of 8 attendees It is Friday again so tonight why not drop in to Rik's chat room at 9.30 pm EST the "direct" hyperlink to the basic "Java" room is http://www.rikschatroom.shorturl.com But it really is time that every chatter was using mIRC especially now that at last Erica has contributed a brilliant essay on the benefits of so doing there is a fully illustrated downloading and configuring instructions page on my site at http://mirc.shorturl.com from the page that opens scroll to the bottom and click on "why it is better to use mIRC" then read the summary on the page headed "Useful features of mIRC" then click on the link to "Erica's essay on mIRC benefits" or go straight to her essay at http://johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/c...smircessay.htm Oops I almost forgot to suggest a topic; having recently found by using Kazaa and WinMx a pile of cover versions including 33rd of August by Joan Baez and a peculiar and suspicious file named Gordon Lightfoot (with Harry Chapin) - Flowers Are Red.mpg I would like to suggest as a topic the other versions of Gord's songs (I now have 27 versions of Early Morning Rain! including The Grateful Dead's) [This message has been edited by fowlesjohn (edited February 21, 2003).] [This message has been edited by fowlesjohn (edited February 21, 2003).] |

last friday there were a total of 9 chatters, including a very welcome revisit by "Tilt" and one newbie from the west of Toronto Doug using the nickname of "khan". It seems he found his way in by using the /list command in his IRC program I do not know if he was using the recomended mIRC or some other IRC Client. We were able to give him an introduction to the wonderful world of Gordon Lighfoot On-line and we all hope to see him again soon. I was particularly pleased that he not only visited my webring ringmasters page at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot
but also took the trouble to sign my visitor's book. hint hint. Anyway a whole week has since gone by so tonight there will be another session at 9pm EST in Rik's Chat Room accessed either direct through your browser using the Java Applet at http://www.rikschatroom.shorturl.com or as I will again stress preferably via an IRC client such as mIRC. There are fully illustrated instructions for getting, installing and setting up this program at http://www.mirc.shorturl.com To try to convince anyone not yet toeing the party line on this subject there is a slightly revised adaptation of Erica's well thought out essay on the following page http://johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/c...smircessay.htm Finally everyone very carefully avoided directly discussing the topic of "covers" that I suggested last week.I don't have any other bright ideas for tonight's topic but will suggest that we discuss whether or not we actually need set a topic and if so who is going to take responsibility for thinking one up each week. Tonight I expect the "catman" (Ron) from Melbourne will be in attendance albeit bare backed as no doubt he lost his shirt last week at the races??

Having said that of course if anyone wishes to come and chat and has a topic to suggest then please feel free to post here accordingly preferably on say the Thursday to give us all a chance to bone up on the subject!! I hope tonight/tomorrow morning that we may gain an insight to the current Australian mini-convention possibly including known delegates Derek Kidd Peter Treloar and (catman)Ron Chidgey all of wehom are now in Melbourne as is "Joveski" who posts frequently on the Corfid Discussion Forum at http://www.corfid.shorturl.com I have been doing some work on my revisions to the Lightfoot Webring but meanwhile for a list of some of the major Lightfoot Internet sites take a look at http://q.webring.com/hub?ring=gordonlightfootw or drop in on my ringmasters page at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot |

I am very sorry that last week being rather traumatic due to a family bereavement I was unable to post my weekly chat reminder or report on the previous week's session and both Susan and I were unable to drop in. But I trust a number gathered as usual from 9 pm EST. the previous week we were down to an attendance of only 6 so I hope a few more turn up this evening

OK it's Friday yet again. I did not note how many came into the chat room last Friday
But I do know that regular Kim (mytoyota) wishes to present her apologies for not being able to attend tonight at 9 p.m. EST as she will be on her way to somewhere warmer. So the room is not likely to be crowded and we would all welcome anyone who has not tried it before. use the links in my earlier postings on this topic/thread |
