anyone can upload an image. here's how you do it.

-ensure you know where your image is on your computer as you will be prompted for that information during the process.
-ensure that your image is less than 50k in size. it will refuse to upload if it's not.
-the first keystroke-i will spell (or the system will think i am trying to upload). here we go:-
backslash{name of your file}
that's all you need. '\' is the backslash key.
ensure you use the correct brackets.
-when you click on 'post message' you will see a colourful 'your image here'.
-click 'post' again and the 'browse' feature will appear.
-click 'browse' and find your file.
-click 'upload' once the name appears in the 'browse' box.

you will also find this info in 'get fancy' on the left of your screen.

let me know if you get stuck!

Well, here goes for a picture upload -

This is me, just checking out the 'Snakepit' floor a couple of years ago:

I have a few more pictures, but maybe I will save those for another day!

Maybe I was that guy that kissed the floor!

I did it a couple of years ago. I promised I would visit the studio and do it in recognition of how the music had influenced my life and still does. I have a photo of it and am proud I kept my promise. Mrs Edwards was in tears with my fiancé and me. I had just proposed to Michelle in the Snakepit too with an audience I might add!! All the staff wanted to see it as they knew there were two things going on, kissing the floor and the proposal. I read some lyrics I composed and was invited to remain in the studio, just the two of us for as long as we liked. It was a dream come true. To think that something I said in 1975 would come true in 1999 was amazing. Truly a special time. The lyrics and melody for �I suppose I propose� were written a couple of months before I planned all this. And believe this or not, I needed a spoken intro, not church bells ringing, and I turned to a song for inspiration that was from Philadelphia. I had admired a Blue Magic track that used a male calling the audience to join him in looking at the saddest show in the world. I used the same principle to invite people to witness a happier occasion. �Sideshow� was the name of that tune and written by Bobby Eli/Vinnie Barret, two people�s names I only saw on records labels and sleeves in those days. Here I am all these years later chatting away with them both on this forum!! Can I ask when this song was first written maybe 1975? The year I was making a promise to go to Detroit and say thank you to everybody in my own little way.

There is a photo of me checking the Snakepit out on that visit, posted on this forum under the �posting images� thread. After everybody had left the studio I asked Michelle to take some photos of me � but I was shell-shocked and could not believe I had done it all, hence my posture.

So Keith - you are spot on. But please may I add the buckets I cry when I listen to some of the songs, because somebody connected with them is no longer with us, or it stirs up memories from years ago. The music is an institution. I learnt that on Thursday night at London�s Royal Albert Hall, where we saw The Four Tops and The Temptations. A wonderful evening with a full house. I chatted to a few people before the show. Mothers, with daughters there for the Motown Sound. �I grew up on it� said the daughter, �my parents were always playing it�. �That�s funny�, I said, �I grew up on it too� and I was double her age!
