The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Solophoneman had previously posted a very nice version of this song by Ted Weems and his orchestra (vocal by Parker Gibbs) on his Victor 812X:

I could have sworn that he’d posted it here, but the Search feature seems to prove that it was posted when we were still at ProBoards. Definitely worth watching.

Paal (and/or anyone else who is experiencing this),

Could you take a screen capture of the error message that you’re seeing so I can attempt to diagnose (and resolve the issue) for you? It sounds like a problem with RealPlayer, but without seeing the exact error message, it’s hard to tell for certain.

On Mac OS X, you’d use Cmd+Shift+3 to take a screen capture (Cmd is the ‘Apple’ key); on Windows if you have a Print Screen button (which may be labeled ‘PrntScrn’—it appears at the far right in the row of F# keys), you can hit that, then open MS Paint (which can be found via the Start menu → Programs → Accessories → Paint) and use Ctrl+V to paste it, then save that image. (JPEG is preferable.)

Let me know if you have any questions.

Mordeth,

thanks for reposting solophonemans you tube video - I missed it frst time around. That is a great version of the song. Think I might be looking out for a copy of that on ebay.

David,

Here are the print screen of the General Error message I get when I try to open songs on The Red Hot Jazz web site.

Paal.

Paal,

Thanks for posting that image; I'll attempt to troubleshoot it when I'm not on my phone.

Could you also capture the display after you click 'More Info'?

(I assume from what Rocky was saying he was getting the same error.)

Rocky

Again, here's the message that I get.

David,

Here is the capture when I click on more info. And when I click on more info again I come to the RealPlayer customer support website.

Paal.
