Glad you found me, Richard. I was only down a day or two before I got up and running here. It’s good some of the links have been changed on the other blogs.

Hi Kat..me again. Aren’t we going to be able to downlooad your song choices anymore? I definetely want the “Bread & Roses” cut. Please?

Richard,
I got tricky with the download. Hipcast offered the MP3 but it was a really poor quality so I started offering yousendit as well on the old Coffee. With this new blog I have stopped offering the MP3 as I figure it was the giving away of music which got me in trouble, but here’s where tricky comes in. Under each song is a link to yousendit. Just click on the link, and it will bring you right to the download page. This song is at 256 Kbps from yousendit while the MP3 link from Hipcast would only have been 32 bits.
Let me know if you have any trouble.

I put up a desparate plea on one of my posts on Star Maker Machine when you disappeared. Happily, I got a response almost immediately in the comments, and I have updated the link at my place, Oliver di Place. BTW, I think your readers would enjoy my folk week posts. I have one more going up tonight.

Thanks for updating the link, Darius. I’ll give a shout out your way on the Coffee. Thanks for letting me know!

Kat, there is a virus on the Rick Shide’s, of the MP3 search engines links.

Thanks, Mario!
I’ll delete from my links.

So glad to have you back!
Judy Collins does a nice cover of this – some might find it over-produced, but I really liked it . . .

Mark,
I listened to hers first and did find it a bit more than I wanted, but I too like it anyway. This simple song just seemed perfect for the day.
