Bummer!  I know that feeling .... ;)  But here's hoping a freshly  
dusted-down phoenix arises from the ashes .... :)

BTW, any of you out there in would-be-band-land that are interested  
in virtual collaboration, gi' us a shout.  These days, I tend to do  
my home-recording (albeit at a speed that would get me enough  
material for album-length releases _almost_ as slowly as current  
BOC ;) in Apple GarageBand, so it's easy for me to exchange material  
with other GB users -- but obviously it's not much harder just to  
sling WAVs around, taking them in and out of whatever editor people  
are using locally.  Improvisatory material is, erm, understandably  
difficult to do this way ;) but one can at least crank out composed  
pieces that don't sound too bad for all that their knocked up at home  
by clueless if enthusiastic amateurs with guitars plugged into the  
computer -- an improvement on _Bring Me the Head of Yuri Gargarin_, I  
should think, anyway. ;)

I think I've still got some time to wait before online music  
collaboration becomes as easy as (or easier than) as chatting by  
Skype ... but we're closer than we were 10 years ago! :)  All that  
technology will eventually create the global jam (hopefully  
generating enough noise to irritate the global village regularly :)).

Cheers,
Carl
