Focus Pocus

I love seeing how things come around. Bored, I was fooling around Last.fm's Frames forum, where I found a recommendation for locating Mic Christopher mp3s using Irish Music Central. In tooling around on Mic's sounds page there, I click on a link to a site called Focus Pocus, which supposedly has mp3s. A blog pops up, thumbnails of recent photographs along the top. There, at the far right, is a familiar shape against the sky. "Could that possibly be Düsseldorf?!" I click and it is! That's definitely a gorgeous picture of my German "hometown". In fact, all of the photos I've looked at so far (mostly of Ireland) are wonderful. And there's an RSS feed. Brilliant!

    Hi I’m Alb, I run Focus Pocus, thanks for you rkind words about my photos! I previously had a site called http://www.dojo2k.com (which now simply redirects to focus pocus). I had recorded a gig of Mics here in Galway about a month before he died and had the mp3s up on focus pocus, since I think it’s possibly the last recording of him. Unfortunately sharing mp3s was against the rules of my hosting so I had to remove them from the site, perhaps soon I will find a way to share them again.

    Hi, Alb. You’re very welcome for the compliments: your photos are lovely! I look forward to seeing more of them.

    It’s a pity that your host required you to take the mp3s down. I really doubt that anyone with control over Mic’s estate and what not would have any problem with his music being shared with others. I mean, wasn’t that the point of getting Skylarking released?
