Subject: Re: DIR videos
John, you did a great job - it was me who ad-libbed the whole thing and
would not take the time to retake anything, even when the microphone
fell off . Also I had the fans running and it was August - too hot. 

This time I installed airconditioning in the "studio" and blocked the
windows ( this is becuase the band plays in there ) , so we can do it
properly and take our time.
