     It's on medici.tv.org, and is a concert by an excellent pianist who I   
   saw in New York City. Friends of mine know her since childhood, so it's   
   a personal plus musical matter.   
      
   I downloaded some software that should capture the video for me, and the   
   on-screen message said that it was downloaded. However, I cannot find   
   the video anywhere on my hard drive despite all sorts of inspections and   
   searches.   
      
   In any event, happy holidays.
