And now the video recordings are online as well.  Same URL.

For those interested in the more hands-on details, I start talking about
some notational problems of the accordion at 16:00 (at which time
approximately I demolish the microphone with detrimental effects on the
sound quality of the talk), and there are a few measures of
semi-coordinated (usually I don't play this instrument standing up, and
not sight-reading from a laptop screen) playing and singing (old Bach,
avoiding copyright issues) at about 24:00.

I mention funding problems for my work at the end of the talk.  It turns
out that this month has dropped so far in one-time monetary
contributions compared to the rather slow uptake of regular
contributions that the minimal amount for being able to afford housing,
eating, and health insurance will likely be missed significantly.  So
I'll have to pitch in again from my private savings, and they are not
excessive.  If the situation does not rise to the level of at least bare
life support soonish, I will not be able to afford working on LilyPond
any more.  Read the gist of the story at
<URL:http://news.lilynet.net/?The-LilyPond-Report-24&lang=en#an_urgent_request_for_funding>
and successive LilyPond Report issues for my reports on the success of
my request.

Enjoy!
