We all find unavailable Jams annoying so @dutchzaphod is testing some alternative upload methods of hard to Jam songs. If you have any trouble playing this one, could you tell us in a comment please, letting us know which country you're in and whether mobile or desktop. Thanks so much :)
@BertrandRustles@dutchzaphod I already use Vimeo as an alternative, to upload my own stuff in case of emergency. It works well, no blocks or warnings that I can see. However, to keep the peace with them a bit, I always delete the video off after I've used it (which means that historical links won't work, but hey... See my next Jam, actually...).
@BertrandRustles The first couple of times that @lynn200 tried viewing a Vimeo clip of mine, she had trouble with it. I think browsers need one session to sync with the player, which is not strictly the same as YouTube's. Even I had trouble the first time if I recall. It's always worth going onto www.vimeo.com/ beforehand, and doing a casual search for something you'd like to see, and getting your system accustomed in that way.
@MJHasOwlEyes@newley@Avante@ssolo985 @MsSue_ RobPerrin Thanks for your cooperation. And if you're really stuck with a song you want to jam (i.e. non existant on YouTube or Vimeo or not accepted by TIMJ and you don't know how make your own vid and send it to Vimeo, let me know and I'll see what I can do for you. I can be reached via Twitter or Facebook.
@dutchzaphod I'm in the trial group who has to pay to message people. Mark Zuckerberg is several hundred dollars, A list celebrities are below that, and so it goes... you're fame has not yet spread sufficiently to warrant massive charges!
this is fun...different countries....now for 2 weeks,everything not YT goes straight to auto -download,but very fast.will not open without that down-load. before vimeo nearly impossible,jerky playback. for a week it opened fine....dont ask me why,i dow-loaded vimeo,did all the right things.with me it seems to depend on signal strength/weather/time of day..........cambodia,soon to be India,with great wifi..

A-W-E-S-O-M-E Jam. And yes, plays fine for me. Really excited to find out if there's a way round some of the restrictions. #dutchzaphodismyhero.

His name came up this very morning. King Curtis was one of the openers for the Beatles when I saw them at Chicago's Kaminski Park in 1965.
PetitePants
Haven't heard this in AGES. LOVELY.
BertrandRustles
@49susans SO lucky to have been there! I picked up a Shea CD last week that has the KC set on it too. Nice.
BertrandRustles
@ArdPad Perfect :)
