Upload to photobucket and copy the direct link. Press the little mountain in the reply box and you can post it in.

HH .. it's the "Upload to photo bucket part" I'm missing .. how does one screen scrape from the iPhone .. ?

Display what you want to snap on your iPhone screen.
Simply press and hold the “Sleep/Wake” button and then press the “Home” button. ...
Once a screenshot is captured, it will be automatically saved to your iPhone Camera Roll.

Thank you sir, I appreciate the help .. I feel smarter already .. probably just a short term thing though.

A real mix of styles on this album from alternate rock and punk through to jazz with all stops in between, probably their best album.

Thanks for reminding me to listen to Troy a few of my friends and relatives who live down under have been raving about him.

No particular reason other than I always enjoying listening to the way Alvin Lee gets his guitar to sound and of course its a favourite old album.

I was not familiar with Troy until he was mentioned by Keith Urban at his Twitter site.  I enjoyed the album a great deal and will be exploring his catalogue on Spotify.  Lots of good music from down under.

Christian can't be anymore indicated as a talent as he is already longer around in the music world. But he still brings refreshing and stretching music. I would regard him right now as the modern Miles Davis....The album below is Called Anthem...

 

Here's an excellent live set:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVJjmyFfuts

Pink Floyd - Animals- not the best album they made but good to hear occasionally

ELO, A New World Record, one of the first 'rock' groups I ever listened to and incredibly influential in their day.  Still lovely to listen to.  24 bit Flac via Audirvana/Hugo
