Thank you very much for the explanation Jim Nasticks
I have now joined the Tom Russell yahoo group
and thus gained access to the files folder
I have now very slowly downloaded the mp3 which is all of 2.23MB
and was predicted to take 35 minutes.
So I have finally heard the mp3
it ended up as only 1.83MB but runs the full 4 minutes
the mp3 was encoded at a bitrate of only 64KBPs but it sounds pretty good to me and is quite amusing and well worth hearing.The URL that Jim pasted in was
http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/QLv4R-g...ot%20story.mp3
which is probably absolutely correct
although I copied it as a subtly different
http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/gJb7R0Z...ot%20story.mp3
but I am having silly browser internet connection problems resulting in entirely fictitious and friggin' annoying "Internet Exploder cannot display the webpage" messages.
Anyway as I said before I find that using links to Yahoo is unreliable so I have now uploaded the mp3 to a free linkable website
it is now at:-

http://gordonlightfoot.fileave.com/T...foot_story.mp3

so if you get any trouble using Jim's original link or the one I found try that one instead
