Please check out the Trad Forum for details. I couldn’t type that all over again. 
You mean they don’t have “copy and paste” in Minnessota?
Here’s what Nano posted over there:
During the annual Irish Heritage Fair, something new (quoted from printed note):
“Monster Session!!! In order to preserve a historical record of the traditional Irish music scene in Minnesota-1850-2003 and to help promote awareness in our community of the numbers of aspiring Irish musicians here,the Irish Heritage Fair is providing us with a venue for our 1st annual Monster Session this year at the Harriet Island Pavillion on Sunday August 10 at 6:00pm. We will be playing standard session tuned at moderate speeds and hope that as many musicians as are able will participate. Please arrive at least a bit before the show so that we can settle on a short program of tunes. Thanks / Tom Dahill”
Of course you don’t have to be Minnesotan to participate! This great idea is Tom’s baby, and it will also be a photo-op for a visual record of our gathered might.
Bring your weapons.
Thanks, Jerry. I still haven’t figured that out, if you can believe it!
so lame, so lame
Hmmm…and “tuned” shoulda been “tunes”. Oh, well. You get the idea.
Hi, Nano.
If computers in Minnesota work like ones in New York State …
You highlight the desired text on the screen by holding the left mouse button and dragging across the text. Release the button where you want to stop. (This is elementary – it’s just like selecting anything else on a computer, but for the sake of being thorough, I’m explaining each step.)
Then click “control/C” (both together) and the text will be saved to the clipboard.
Then go wherever you want to insert the text (email, word processing software, Chiffboard post, etc. and place the curser (That %$&*#@, lousy no good, rotten … oops wrong curser; I mean the insertion point) where you want the copied text to go.
Click “control/V” and the text will magically appear in the new place.
If you have a Mac computer, it’s the same process, but with the comparable keystrokes on a Mac.
Best wishes,
Jerry
Thanks, Jerry. Thanks loads. Now you’ve succeded in giving me an education as well as embarrassing me in front of God and all Chiffdom.
OK, I’ll go see what I can practice on.
Meanwhile, folks: don’t forget the Aug 10 MONSTER SESSION! There’ll be pookas, werethings, orcs, space mantids, suburban housewives, and!..it is rumored that Cthulhu may show his er, face. Whatever.
Jeez Jerry, I`ve been wanting to know how to do that for about 4 years. Thanks my friend-)
