[BC] Stream's up

[mark at shander.com]

Hi Dana,

I clicked on at about 2:48AM MST this morning - Last Train to Clarksville
had distortion and the crisp edge I'm sure was present on your source
material (I've never heard that track clean, except for a cover).  Take It
Easy had some clicks in it I thought might have been my speakers, so I
paused WMP expecting to continue to hear clicks, didn't hear them, ran
another local source, didn't hear clicks, then unpaused the stream and
heard them again.  No issues with any of the the next songs following,
nice and clean.  Whoa - spoke too soon - 1:00 or so in to Treat Her Like a
Lady - light gurgling sounds like under water...(about 3:11am MST). 
Lasted 30 seconds, I paused, played another source, couldn't reproduce it,
so I unpaused the player, and the gurgling continued.  The next song was
clean.

It's a very nice sounding feed.

I'll stay connected awhile and see how reliable it is - I didn't see
anything of concern, like excessive packet loss or anything....

Nice playlist, by the way!  :-)

Regards,

Mark Shander
