Saturday Night Online Concert

As promised, here's the letter sent out to everyone about how to listen to the concert online tomorrow night.

First, check your time zone, so you can be sure to tune in at the right time. I'm going to try to do two hours from 9:30 EST to 11:30. We'll see how my stamina holds out. I'll likely take a break about 10:30.

Feel free to come and go.

Please visit the chat room to say hi.

'll be checking for song requests at the chat room every 15 minutes or so (about every 3 to 4 songs).

You'll need a video player like WinAmp or Windows Media Player to watch the stream. The resolution is a little on the low side so that it doesn't skip. You can make it fill the screen by double-clicking the image in Windows Media Player.

To make my stream connect to your video player, you need the peer-to-peer software. You get it at Peercast.org.

Here's the download link:

After downloading and installing, go to the yellow pages link below, and search for 'concert' or 'jason'. Then click the PLAY button.

The sound will start first, and then the video will kick in later. It usually takes about 15-30 seconds before you'll see any video. Be patient.

If that doesn't work, then don't give up! Come to the chat room URL above, and I can give you a back-up link to start the concert.

I'll have the video stream up and running late afternoon, so that people can tune in to make sure it all works.

See you then!
Jason
