I've had nothing to do all week and then the online 'pub quiz' my wife wanted to do clashed with this! We came last, as we were the only couple not assisted by google and Wikipedia, so it was an honourable last placing! Probably...

Anyway I will join in sooner or later. Take care everybody!
My latest novel: pls check it out!

‘Gavin & The Bodysnatchers’, a quirky comedy crime thriller. Easily found on Amazon.

There is a 40 minute limit on the free version of Zoom but of course I'm now being bombarded with messages to upgrade. If it helps you @CaliaMoko it is currently 22:06 in the UK, same time in Pompey,  Manchester,  Liverpool and Tyneside  :)

I have experienced the 40-minute limit; however, your meeting is still open even now. I just went and checked again. Also, the last free Zoom meeting I hosted had a pop-up, right in the middle of everything, saying the 40-minute limit was lifted and we could meet as long as we wanted. We got all excited and stopped rushing madly to get done and ended going for about an hour and a half. Maybe the limit has been lifted for you too, and that's why I can still, at this moment, log into your [empty] meeting?

Or maybe this is what's happening: https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/how-to/software/zoom-40-minute-limit-3785767/

Oh, I must have forgotten to log off...while I went into the music room and started setting up my new music computer. Oops!

So now you know. Just keep logging in and see if anyone's there!

I'm not up late. It's only 7:00pm here. :D

EDITED

Well...today, I decided to re-record a version of one of my absolute favourite songs...I had done a rough version...but thought I'd try to do it "properly" as I'd found a midi file with loads of goodies on it...so a synth, a piano track and some pad thing is on here from that.

I'll probably only leave it up there for a few days...as it's obviously a cover version...

It's such a lovely uplifting song...almost enough to make you think that better days are just around the corner*


I hope someone somewhere likes it :)

Well, that injected some energy into my morning! I think it worked fine with the limited  :Dd instrumentation. Very nice. I enjoyed it a lot.

Hi @PaulAds I'd forgotten what a fabulous song this is and you've certainly done it justice. I reckon it would work really well in a 3 piece - Gee the crowd were going bonkers !!!
