As information, I did some cosmetic work on the Ho-Down video and re-submitted it primarily because I just wanted to as I'm still learning and see things I want to change. If you liked the old version, you won't be upset with the updated version. Frankly I probably wouldn't have even written this note about the change but then thought that perhaps some people were traveling when I first posted the video and the thread went into the sleep mode before they got back. And perhaps we have some "newbies" on board LCT that never saw what fun we had.

Cheers! Ray
=======================================
In addition to the photo albums I made up for the three-day HoDown, I just completed a video covering the event and if you have about 20 minutes to spare, you may want to take a looksy.

The video comes with music so if you're at work you may want to mute the sound. In addition to photos you have already seen, there is new video added.

The video requires QuickTime Player to run the video and it is a free download should you not have it. Here's a comment a friend made about the download:

My trouble with the Apple web site is resolved. When I clicked on after downloading Quick Time there appeared a very small and narrow message at the top of the screen that said something like "this web site wants to run this video for you on our program if that is ok with you." When you clicked "ok" a warning message appeared saying something like "do you really trust this program." I clicked "yes" and bingo we were in Quick Time. The next time I logged into the Apple site I didn't have to go through this procedure. So all is well that ends well. The language they used on this tiny one line message was in very small print and written in computer geek. What they should have said is "Hey, dude, we think you've had the brains to install QT. If you have, click here. You'll be able to view the video and you won't hear from us again in the future."

Ngaire advised this: "You need to load the program QUICK TIME it will tell you that on the link, easy to do. Then I messed up as once I loaded Quick Time but I did not see the script line on a yellow bar near the top of the screen that you have to click to authorize the program to run."

Here's a link to QuickTime download:

p.s.: If you care to, you can also play the video on your phone by clicking on "small" rather than "medium."
p.p.s.: If you internet connection or computer is a tad bit slow, give video time to buffer.
