...actually it's just our 'home movies' and record collection...!!!
Don't worry it's
perfectly clean and safe for children....as we move into the 21st
Century I've discovered how to use 'moving pictures' and insert 'sound
clips'. The following
clips will provide a tiny glimpse of what the band can play now AND what
we sounded like in the not too distant past - but mostly it will cause
you to laugh because they sound like they were recorded in 1929...!!!
'Click' on the links below - they may take up to 90 seconds to
download...so please be patient:
N.B.: Some of
the following clips are 'test' clips (I'm learning!!) and will be
replaced by something of 'quality' (or not !!) as we go along!!!
