OT. Other forums have a Music thread.

David Bowie's passing seems to have gone unnoticed on the forum - possibly due to the recent posting gremlins.

I chanced upon the early Bowie albums at an import shop long before his work appeared in the regular record stores. I was hooked!

When I played the early music at parties people either loved it or hated it. Most became fans. I purchased all of his albums up to and including Station To Station whereafter the financial contraints of marriage, mortgage and children limited my album additions to birthday and Christmas times. I had a mint copy of the original, limited issue, The Man Who Sold The World 'dress' cover LP which I sold to buy a cheap guitar - regret, regret.



The amount of original musical talent that appeared in the sixties and seventies still amazes me. Maybe they didn't leave a lot of creative space for those who followed.

Bowie in my estimation is above most of his peers and unlike most of them continued releasing acclaimed new material right up to his death.

It appears that the embedded links for youtube videos no longer work.

Bowtie I'm forwarding this thread and the (Most Respected Music Artist Thread) to Steven as it says that the videos are not found on this server.They obviously were not migrated when the servers were changed.. Not sure if they can be at this point however. But hope to have an answer for you shortly.

That would not be an option to fix each post individually.. If these Youtube links can NOT be repaired, the threads will have to be deleted.. No point taking up space for nothing.

So just a heads up for everyone..Threads will be DELETED if the links can NOT be repaired...

A recoverable loss. Those particular threads will be enjoyable to re-construct, and draw some new posts to look forward to. Or, so says the optimist in me.

So far, no hiccups logging on or posting. That's good ground gained.

Your efforts are appreciated, Steven and Altec Best.

I agree but would like to have them restored if possible.

Update: OK Steven is going to look into the youtube links tonight.Received a text from him saying he will look into it...

I wouldn't sweat it it's a simple software glitch and not corrupt data. I played with it at lunch. And the code needs tweaked.
