I haven't read the entire thread, so my apologies if someone has already mentioned them, but how about an Irish Red & White Setter? Purebred, intelligent, patient, loving and absolutely wonderful with other animals and folks of all ages (including kids). http://www.orc.ca/~harrison http://www.su...

As an example I recorded a recent show with a bit rate of 160 in stereo and the result was a file just over 170 megabytes. Thanks for the primer. I've been recording shows from RM for a couple of years now and the worst part of the whole process (to me) is splitting the recording into individual tr...

Assuming the rumour is true and Jimmy does play PNC this year, does anyone have any hotel/motel recommendations? We saw him last year at the Post-Gazette Pavilion but I'm not sure any of the hotels out that way would be all that handy for a PNC show...

I believe Jimmy opened for the Eagles in Toronto back in '77 or '78. Not sure of the venue but it was probably either Maple Leaf Gardens or Exhibition Stadium. Other than the two mid-90s shows at the Molson Amphitheatre, I'm not aware of any -- but I'd be surprised if there weren't others over the y...

Gord put on a great show last night. Considering what he went through, he looks amazingly healthy. I'd say he might even look healthier last night than he did when I saw him a few years back during the "Painter Passing Through" tour. His voice seemed stronger on many of the older songs. He...

I know mine is a minority opinion but I honestly think License to Chill is very nearly the absolute pinnacle of JB's career. There's something for everyone on this album: country-tinged, tropical-flavoured, wacky humour, moving ballads, amped-up rockers... and yet it all seems to meld into one harmo...

Were you able to get tickets to the show? I heard they were selling quite well. Also the 1st 10 rows were reserved for hospital staff. Couldn't make the Monday show (which had better seats available) so had to settle for Sunday. We got four tickets in the 2nd balcony, a row near the back -- so it m...

Gordon Lightfoot is a Canadian institution. Absolutely the greatest songwriter this country has ever produced. His sense of place and time are second to none as is his repertoire. We Canadians get all weepy when one of Gord's songs comes on the radio. And his brush with death a couple of years ago w...

It's not bad, right off I75....but it's usually very crowded because of that. Also be forwarned, in winter season, you are looking at a minimum 35 minute ride and lotsa traffic heading to either the Naples beaches or Marco Island... That's what's funny about Florida -- it seems whenever we go to Or...

Just wondering if anyone has stayed at or has any opinions on the Comfort Inn (the one at 3860 Tollgate Blvd.) in Naples, Florida? Someone in another thread suggested Naples as a good winter destination. I know this hotel is a few miles from the Gulf, but that's okay; we're happy with warmth, sunshi...

Are you flying to florida? For nice weekly vacation rentals try http://cyberrentals.com/homepage.html Flying (from Canada), most likely. The 24 hour drive doesn't appeal to my kids for some reason! :wink: Thanks for the tip about the vacation rental site. Have you used it in the past? Any recommend...

FT. LAUDERDALE - STAY AT THE SHERATON YANKEE CLIPPER- IT'S RIGHT ON THE BEACH, ALSO 2 POOLS. SAY HI TO GIL AND THE BOYS AT THE BEACHSIDE BAR. ALSO THEY HAVE ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN.I STAY THERE MOST EVERY YEAR I'M IN LAUDERDALE Did I mention inexpensive ? LOL The Clipper sounds (and looks) great, b...

How far south would you have to go to get water warm enough to get into? Not necessarily for extended swims, but even just to splash around in?

Great suggestions, keep 'em coming!

I'm looking for a nice vacation spot in Florida, sometime around February. It'd be me, my wife and two kids 12 and under. We've been to Orlando a several times over the past few years, but I thought it might be good to try somewhere different. The last few vacations, we did the Disney/Universal/SeaW...

I guess in a nutshell, my question really is -- what's the optimum bitrate for archiving shows in MP3 format, that were recorded from Radio Margaritaville?

Here's some background: 1) Jimmy Buffett broadcasts most or all of his shows, free of charge, via Radio Margaritaville. 2) Radio Margaritaville broadcasts these shows are broadcast at 32 kbps (I believe). 3) Programs like Total Recorder will record and save these shows (in WAV format, I believe). My...

Radio Margaritaville Recording. I would have been recording it myself, except I was at the show. Just finished downloading it. A great souvenir! I notice a number of "pops" during many of the songs -- does anyone know if those were present during the Radio Margaritaville broadcast (since ...

Pittsburgh was my first Buffett show, so I'm REALLY glad to get it. Thanks! Does anyone know if this (and/or other shows on the FTP site) is from Radio Margaritaville's broadcast, an audience recording, or soundboard, etc? Just curious...

We chatted with some folks a few rows ahead of us from Buffalo who got tickets through their local phan club. We also talked with the people behind us during the intermission, nice crowd overall. Hope to see you at the next one! Coming down through Buffalo and Erie we saw plenty of vehicles done up...

Ended up taking the bucket o' margaritas (makes 24 of 'em, according to the directions) and drank about two-thirds of it.

Next time, I think I might take some Corona. All those people running around the parking lot with 'em were making me jealous!
