Show 70 - May never be...

Guys... we record 3 hours on Saturday morning and another 2 hours Saturday night... and I spent most of Sunday editing the show.  Nearly finished with my editing, I started exporting the show segments out to wav format for copying to my Mac... and crash... not Blue Screen... but Audacity crashed!  I tried to open the show file and it said it was corrupt.... Aaaaaaaha!

I tried the backup file... corrupt also... I tried copying the files as is to the Mac... no go... Windows says the file folder and it contents are trashed.  So on Sunday I start running Gibson Research's SpinRite... it has saved me many times... except for this one... SpinRite took over 24 hours to run on this huge drive.  So now I am running Windows Check Disk... and it seems to have stop at phase 4, because the progress bar has not moved in an hour.

So... with my trip to hartford only a few days away... I do think I will have a show for you this week.  If I can manage to record tomorrow or Wednesday night with a co-host... I will try to get a show 70 replacement to you... otherwise I will post a re-run.
