Lovely playing horseless headman.
I wonder if you would have a spare CD for sale.
I'd love to hear your take on Margaret's Waltz, one of my favorites.

Re: website

Might I suggest that you resize the bulk of your images. They seem to be 4000x3000 pixels and ~4Mb and then resized in the page. Even with 10M broadband the page takes a time to load.

Re: website

Many thanks moondyne fiddler and thanks also for the good advice goldfrog. We will try to fix this problem.
Thank you mcknowall. We have plenty of cds and we'll email you on this.

Re: website

Lovely playing indeed!

I agree with goldfrog as to your website. Try changing the size of your images and/or reducing the quality (perhaps to 80% or so which shouldn't affect the viewing). Doing this will help the pages load faster. You may also wish to try reducing the width of the pages so one need not scroll left to right to view the content or change the code so the pages automatically adjust to the resolution of the viewer's monitor.

All the best!

Peace,
Ed

Great stuff, the music is uplifting, lively and fresh

The challenge now is to make the web site uplifting, lively and fresh to match the music.

Re: website

Nice music and lovely recording. It'll be great when you resize the images as others have already suggested - currently the home page is 14 MB - basically the loading size is the total size of all the assets (images + audio etc)

Re: website

ha ha - once you start messing with web/computer stuff, kiss your music-playing time goodbye.

(they were such lovely musicians, once upon a time)

Re: website

Is that why you weren't at Tommy's this week?
(How many websites are you running now, anyway?)

# Posted on February 18th 2011 by Jon Kiparsky

Re: website

Oh, trust me - last night's Tommy''s more than made up for any others I've missed (check your e-mail).

And since you asked - I had a dinner invite I couldn't refuse.

(answer: too many)
