Yesterday I revealed myself abruptly after more than a year behind the curtain. Well, behind the curtain would infer that I was working on and retooling this site for a grand re-opening. That was obviously not the case. What simply happened is I recently found the DC Scene 80's & 90's group on FB and uploaded an old You Tube :21 clip of Weasel. Well, that got my mojo going a bit. Then, when looking at an external drive that I don't connect much, I saw a folder labeled WHFS_digital_music. Well, I knew what this was and after scanning some of the titles, yesterday's post was born, abruptly.
So I edited the recording in WMM (Windows Movie Maker) then uploaded it to You Tube and then linked it to this blog. I liked how it looked, but I didn't like the related videos it showed after it played. Having a three year old in the house that uses my iPad often, I really hate how You Tube serves those related videos. Some are really not related at all except for the key words someone used to deceive.
What frustrated me was in the HTML design area on blogger.com, there's no uplink video option so I thought they changed and required you to link from another source rather than directly upload it. Well, a day later and a few clicks I found the video uploaded and decided to see if going directly from my computer to blogger.com worked, it did! So now I'll be posting Window's Media files directly to www.naplesgc.blogspot.com and we can rejoice there will be no "related" videos that appear after listening.
One more issue before we get to the next clip. This site is full of links to Megaupload and streaming links to eclips, both are dead now. For kicks, click on one of the download links, you'll see this:

| FBI Anti-Piracy Warning |
So with this stern warning from the government, I will not be posting any downloadable content, just either streaming or uploaded content that can't be saved or downloaded. Also, you won't be hearing full length songs, I don't believe. I may have to do some research on that. If there are any sites or information that someone can point me to, please let me know. I would much rather upload an entire rip than have to edit out the music. I will say, if you hear a song or a recap of a song and like it and need it, please go to iTunes and buy it, support the bands and makers of the music we love.
So, as this was an afterthought post, I'll make what was going to be my second post, my third post.
Welcome back everyone, I hope your lives have been fulfilled since we have last communicated.
