Webcams on Laptop computer

I've been trying out a fairly new webcam on my laptop so that I can put a video of the playing of a NAF, and it just wouldn't work! Don't know what the problem is, and I tried it in 3 different USB plugs!

Did a virus scan and it came up with a Trojan - of Generic title. Hopefully I fixed the problem and I'll have a video on this site shortly. Does anyone have any hints to making a decent clip?

My LiveTown Club pics.

These are the pictures taken of me by Peter Trapp, at my debut public performance with the Native American Flutes and my Medicine Drum. All I have done to them is to crop the excess surrounding wall space and lightened the colour balance. I used Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2

After the LiveTown Club event

It's now the morning after the LiveTown Club event and my debut as a public 'performer'.
Although it was quite a small audience, there was a really nice community feel in the hall. The hardest part was microphone testing and levels thingy, standing there without any intro. and just playing to get where I stood with my drum and flutes right.
I felt really relaxed and calm once I was on the stage for the performance part. Great to have a few people in the hall who I knew, as well.

I loved it!

Robert Rabbin is just so spot on with the focus on Shakti first and just being your authentic self. Having done his 'You Are the Message' workshop has been a fantastic background for me even saying "Yes" to doing a performance to an audience. For anyone considering being in front of people for speaking or performing, I highly recommend his work.
I received a lot of good feedback on how lovely I played, and they sensed the heart with the music. Even good comments came my way about my singing and having such a powerful voice!

I'm really looking forward to the next one being planned for Feb. 14th 2009.
Hope I get asked to perform again!
