The CD idea might be a bit out of the range of a possibility by Jim,
but talking to him yesterday, he shared an idea that IS in his
control and abilities, that he needs a bit of help from us with.
It seems he had arranged to have the show filmed, using three
cameras, and was going to edit it all together and make a video
but the people who were going to shoot it didn't for reasons I am
not aware of.  He then tried to film it with his camera, but it
went on the fritz.  He has some of the show, but needs to get in
touch with anybody else who filmed it.  You can call Jim Lasko
at 216-252-6148.  Your help is needed and appreciated.  Or email
him at jmfinity at harbornet.com.

Thanks,

Duane
