Hello Tamas: Thank you for submitting the links. Just heard the check link to Marian Petrescu and Basin Street Blues, Boogie Woogie etc. Wonderful, high quality sound. Loved it. Can't wait to hear the 2009 Festival. What a great idea. Thanks for what you do for jazz. Cheers, Steve Barbone http:www.myspace.com/barbonestreetjazzband

Hello Tamas, from Fran, in CALif. USA. Thank you again for including me in watching the broadcast! The picture is so clear I can count the hairs on your chin. ;-) What a show the band did. I'm enjoying it very much. However; the sound cuts in & out, but never-the-less it is wonderful to see you all again! Tell Tamas Benyei hello for us & we miss he & the band! Keep having fun! Much success! Your friend Fran

Hello everybody, First of all, continuity of the broadcast depends on YOUR Internet connection. Many people see it without stopping and re-starting. Overall, 18,000 people (yes, eighteen-thousand!) have watched the broadcast on Friday. Pretty good for a first time attempt, I think. Hope for more tomorrow. Musical comments would be also appreciated :-)

Hello from Fran CAlif. USA. -- I'm sure you are correct. All 4 family members in Seattle I told about watching the Festival, had no trouble at all seeing or hearing you. And the second set I had no more problems with my sound! Lucky me. :-) The family also watched until the last intermission. We are awaiting your return. I'm so proud for you that this broadcast is such a success!! Keep up the great work & Happy 24th Birthday! PS Excellant puppeteer. Your friend, Fran

Tamas, Thank you very much for making it possible to "attend" the festival. It's not the same as being there but at least we can get some of the flavor of what it would be like to be there. The camara work is great and the orverall quality is excellent.

The feedback on the stage mic is making it very distracting to listen to the music! (Sat evening concert)

Dear Tamas: The live telecast is a brillant idea. It brings back very fond memories of your festival in 2007 which we attended. The broadcast came accross loud & clear here in The Villages, FL. Thanks for including us. OOXX Kelley and Ted :-)
