    I know some folks have .GIF's of guitar stuff.  If someone will point
    me at the .GIF's, I'll convert 'em to PostScript, 'cuz I'm a helluva
    guy ...  8^)

    Hi Scary,
    
    that would be great!
    How does it feel at 6a.m. - can't remember if I ever was up that
    early...
    
    
    sascha

    I also have the GIF -> PS converter.

I'm still looking for the GIF I *used* to have of Metallicas Master Of Puppets
cover.  I didn't have a workstation when I had it, and I think I deleted it.
Now I've got graphics, and I be bummin'.

Someone find it for ME !!

mmm...i gotta not-too-bad b&w photo of SRV doing a sound check
without a hat on (if you can believe it)...hork it from:
mrcsse::proj:[leitz]srv3.gif... i'll leave it there about a week.

mmm,  also a led zep shot...same place, mrcsse::proj:[leitz]zep1.gif...

    And of course, one wouldn't want to miss BUTCH1.GIF in that directory
    either.
    
    One look at this and you'll know why Butch says he feels naked unless
    he's got a Gibson strapped on.

Hey, BRAINSTORM! Mail me a copy of your favorite 3x5 snapshot of yourself
jammin with your favorite axe & i'll scan it in (high quality 256 greyscale) 
& we'll make an online guitar noters photo album...  be az crazy az u wnna be,
but nothin rude. (i do have some scruples, after all!)

anybody with UTOX, XLOAD or whatever can view them on their workstation,
maybe somebody else'll volunteer to convert them to .PS & everybody can 
get a good laugh!

mail it to:
	Guitar Noter Photo
	po box 352
	worcester, ma, 01606

include a SASE for photo return, no exceptions

& i'll load 'em in as .GIF files as I receive them.

    How about if I send you a copy of the Marshall calendar? ;-)

    So Butch!  Where do we pull these .GIF files from?  
    
    Can you give us the public address or have you not had a chance to scan
    all the rockers yet?
    
    d.

    That'd be a good touch ...
    
    .... it'd keep the flies off the photo album.  8^)
    
    Scary (who thinks this is a great idea)

	There's an error in that filespec - one too many :

	Sandy :^}

    Yup, one too many :'s in there!!
    
    Anywho, MRCSSE::PROJ:[LEITZ] works (dats how I did it)!

(OOOooo, caught...right...this is now changed)(buck had it right)

here's a start (from my archives):

Directory MRCSSE::PROJ:[LEITZ]
          --------------------

name          siz  who/what
------------- ---  ---------------------------------------------------
DJAM1.GIF;1    74  ;DECJAM 90, rost, leitz, tbuckley, bbuckley, dark photo
 		   ;so faces are not too clear, needs about 200% zoom to
                   ;really enjoy it;
DJAM2.GIF;1    79  ;rene, rost, bbuckley, leitz, zoom it 250%. Brian's getting
                   ;down in this one...
DJAM2E.GIF;1   200 ;same as above - zoomed to vga so it lost aspect ratio (every
		   ;body looks skinny) but bigger than djam2.gif.
DJAM3.GIF;1    42  ;rene, rost, leitz, tbuckley, bbuckley, (small)
DJAM3E.GIF;1   104 ;enlarged djam3.gif times 2. much better, could be zoomed.
DJAM4.GIF;1    90  ;Frank Rene and Brian Rost gettin' down
DJAM5BUC.GIF;1 167 ;from decjam 90, five bill buckleys (just for fun!)

Actually DJAM2.GIF zoomed 200% looks the best. Forget djam2e. Yech.
For what it's worth, I also have a copy XLOADIMAGE.EXE in the same directory
(mrcsse::proj:[leitz]). Xloadimage is a pretty good GIF viewer if you have
a workstation. Use like so:

$ set display/create/node={yer node name}
$ xload=="$mydir:xloadimage.exe"
$ xload filename.gif

(If you have a friends node security enabled, you can blast a picture to
it instead, but I digress...)

Xloadimage has abunch of options to it... type $XLOAD to see all this:

$ xload
Usage: $1$dua8:[aquarius_meg$root.][leitz]xloadimage.exe;3 [global options] 
{[image options] image_name ...}

    My root window now has Buck (is that a Les Paul!) in front of a
    Marshall stack.  If I can figure a way to layer "Just Say No to Racks"
    across it, it will be perfect.
    
    8-)
    
    

    Hi Kev,
    
    Yuppers...dats me playing Stevie (Tone = JCM 900!) Jensen's old Gibson
    Les Paul Custom thru (not one but) TWO 50wt Marshall heads (each with
    their own cab)!!  I was running them in stereo.
    
    
    Buck who says 1 LP Custom thru 2 50WT Marshalls had tone for days!!

    Who's the singer?  Thanks for scanning these, they're great!
    
    BTW - I really prefer XV to XLOADIMAGE.  XV is XGIF's successor.  Let
    me know if you want a pointer to the saveset.  XLOADIMAGE doesn't
    support 24 planes so I can't use it.  XV does support 24 planes as well
    as 8.

    Buck, who thought we had a great set (but it was for mature audiences!)

    That's great, a musical family!  Is she as great on guitar as you?
    
    Mike

    >That's great, a musical family!  Is she as great on guitar as you?
    
    I tried to teach her some stuff, but to date all she can play on guitar
    is two songs by The Rings (a shared favorite band!) and parts to some
    Aerosmith stuff.  She does weild a killer flute, though (memories of
    Jethro Tull covers come to mind).
    

    Just out of curiousity...
    
    How did you create the SRV GIFs?  What B&W scanner do you use (or
    camera if you used one) and what software do you use to do the
    conversions?
    
    Thanks,
    Mike
