And if you want to use the photos as avatars you have my full permission.
If you want more pictures from La Phonogalerie, I can send them to you or post them here.
Paal,
You’re very welcome. Please post them in the thread—I know other people would love to see them (I was telling John about them last night on the phone and hopefully we will have him back with us very soon—he’s excited about content that he wants to add on which he’s been busy of late). I’ve already bookmarked the thread as a reminder to myself to do something with the images (since I have your permission).

I didn't knew it was Norman who made it!
I agree wholeheartedly—it’s one of my favorites, and I wish that I could take credit for it. Norman is quite talented and submitted many of our initial set of avatars (and the majority of the
cylinder avatars.) If you are using
Firefox,
Opera or
Safari (and I assume—but have not tested—Google’s
Chrome—which is based on Apple’s WebKit, the rendering engine used by
Safari), you can hover any of
the avatars in the stock avatar gallery to see their file names as a tooltip. (This may also work in Internet Explorer—again, I have not tested it, although if you are using IE, you really should get a better browser; IE is the most prevalent vector of attack against windows—it’s inherently insecure and unsafe to use, as well as being an inferior browser.)
If the avatar was
made by another member, it will be named ‘____ by user name’; if the source image was
provided by another member, it will be named ‘____-user name’.
Many of
the record labels which I made into avatars were provided by our members (and were not scanned from John’s collection (primarily for
YouTube) by me.
I cannot thank everyone enough for all of their contributions; we have a huge avatar collection because of them.

Bruce,
I’ve noticed, and you guys give me a lot to catch up with when I’m not working on location (although I often read the forum from my iPhone while on break or during my commute). I still have quite a few replies that I want to write.
And unless
Marcel also attended the Union show, I think that you may have the honor of being the member with the longest trip to that show...I don’t envy you all the time you spent on an airplane for it.
My trip to San Francisco (
when we migrated to our new home here) was far too long a flight for my tastes, although I was able to share
quite a lot of train photos as a result of it.
8,642 posts later, I’m very proud of what everyone here has helped us accomplish so far, and look forward to many posts to come on
The Talking Machine Forum. I know that I’ve said this many times, but it really is our members that make this forum the venue for phonograph discussion that it is.
Feel free to pester me to work on more features and content as I have time (or with any questions or requests for technical support).
Your friendly internet
daemon,
