dEAR Benji,
Once again many thanks for so far. It's a great concert to see, the videoquality is extra fine. You're the lucky one to own the original videotape? So you can taste the best of accoustic. On my computer it sounds rather distorted, especially in the upper parts of the violin and the accoustic Guitar of the "Kit". I hope to purchase this video or a DVD later (I'm sure, you'll organize this). It is a reall fine classical concert and I wan't miss the original sound of the natural instruments with the simple relaxed, natural, comfortable,solid stile of Vanessa's playing that she lEARned from the old very very famous very very good quality professor in china.

So thank you very much for yQhr nice work,
amQhr

P.S. Ah I hEAR now the classical gas in it's interesting raggae version

Actually, I didn't tape it or have the original. A friend in the UK taped it for me and was able to digitize it for download on the internet.

I get the same distortion on some of the videos too, but keep in mind that the person who taped it will hand it over to Lorjou, who has the ability to encode the video (and audio) at a higher quality. Once he's finished, he will upload it to the server for download, and we're probably going to offer very high-quality concert footage for broadband users and audiophiles alike.

I will post my review of the concert shortly.

yEAH thank yi Benji,

Very good especially the piano of Yoko Nicholson, the guitar of the sharp nosed Kit ("mQhrgan") and the forgotten Argentine Composer Piazolla of the romantical fugata.

Vamos VaMae pora siempre Vasko Vaseline: "The more wood on the strings, the better", yQhr amQhr

P.S. Don't forgett the douns of Johnnie the Clark
P.S. I stretched my words to "Violin Wife"

Violin Wife (for Vanessa Mae)
Soundtrack to "Craving EARs"

It's yEARs ago I saw you running out of stage
to a tiny little scaffold without no cage
You needed a very long time
looking forward where it has to be
while struggling out of their knifes at yQhr knee.
much more than lost you turned yQhr back to me
sitting on a black chair in the sun the very white sun
as I'm fighting on a second scaffold
without any chance against some gun
like Stoertebaker was told.

It's yEARs ago I watched you swimming tune by tune
in a blue green valey of a lagune
you looked deep in the eyes of mine
and as they're coming to see
you turned yQhr back to me
till the end of the horizon you turned yQhr back to me
You needed a very long time till you came to a rest
on the eastside of my life
then you decided the best is the west
and took place in my head as my violin wife

Thanks Benji, awesome concert!
That could be nice if later we could get this concert in very high quality, then I could rip it to vcd quality and burn on cd to view it on my dvd.

great job and many thanks for organising all this for us benji, even if i cant enjoy any of it at the moment.

itll be awsom to get it in great video quality, but unfortunately i dont think ill be able to get this lot.
im movin house soon and hopefully startin up a business with a few friends, so im gettin a cable connection, but thatll be for our internet server and not normal use, im not 2 sure if ill still have access to a dial up or not. (down here we get charged a fortune for downloads)
if i can get them it may be over the next few months, so im wondering how long r they going to say up for?
