the somewhere Jimbo2 is at:-
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showthread...hlight=russell
which is of course a thread that you yourself started way back in June 2008
At the time there was some discussion about the link to the mp3 and I said I had downloaded it. from ya bloody hoo
I have now rechecked and it is still on Tom's Yahoo group site
called The Tom Russell Chronicles at:-
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TomRussell/
If you already have a Yahoo ID sign in then click the join button,then enter the riff raff barringCAPTCHA and click on the files link on the left to open:-
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TomRussell/files/
(you have to be a member of that group to be able to access the files)
scroll down to where it clearly says
Gordon Lightfoot story.mp3
Gordon Lightfoot story told by TR
then if you right click that link and "save target as" etc you should get the
2.23MB (2292KB) 4:53 mp3
