Ongoing tales of technological incompetence

          After about an hour of tinkering last night, I finally figured out how to list pertinent links divided into groups such as 'Active Louisville Labels' and 'Louisville Lip Bands'. Or so I thought. After setting up the categories and listing a couple of initial links, I clicked on them and they worked. So far so good. Now when I come back to the page and click the links, what do you know - they don't work. Of course. Back to the drawing board, or the keyboard rather. Did I mention that I'm a Luddite? I think that's putting it too mildly.

Durrrrrrrrrr!

     Through a system of trial and error (mostly error) I am slowly figuring out how to set this page up. It is somewhat disconcerting to me that pretty much any modern day 12 year old could have set the whole thing up in about 5 minutes and have done a better job of it than I could or will in about a years time of tinkering and doddering. Then again, I'm usually the first to point out that I am for all intents and purposes, a Luddite. Anything I manage to actually figure out here is surely no credit to me, but rather an accident born of about 39 previous failed attempts. Nothing new there.
     The two items I am struggling with at the moment are how to have a list of links that will take the reader to other pages which are related to the label, or in general, to pages which should bear some significance for anyone interested in the musical heritage of our fine city and how to continue to post pictures. On the first, I have found the templates for the task but am apparently operating them incorrectly. Try, try again! On the second, it seems that you must purchase additional storage space. Funny. There was no mention of that little factoid at the beginning. Again, nothing new there either.
     And so on.

The man, BILL TERRY, getting ready to record his Kinghorse cover "What Am I Supposed to Do?"

Bill's instruments of choice for the track: A toy trumpet, a depleted roll of paper towels and a mostly empty box of Cheez-its. The Fosters 'oil can' was the masters drink of choice that evening.

Louisville Lip stumps for a shitty soda!

FOOR the Blanket Party e.p. pictures

FOOR is the solo project written, performed and recorded by B. Edward Foor (the Fuse, Red Sun, Tyrone, Phantom Family Halo, GLASSPACK, Nixon, Gaj Mustafa Cell, etc.) Each release features a different lineup of guests so that each one is completely different in style, sound and look. This, the 2nd in the series - "the Blanket Party e.p." features Nate Smallwood (Noise Pollution Records, Red Sun, Apollo Strain, the Fuse, Straight A's, etc.) on guitar along with artwork and vocals by Shawn Severs (me.)
