Let's find Ray

[J.W.]

This should be simple to do, assuming no dead ends ... you just aks "hey, who gave you that file?", then "Hey, you gave 'z' that file - who gave to you?", then "Hey you gave 'y' that file, who gave it to you?", and so on till you get to the author, our esteemed friend Ray.

Anyone care to try and localize the area of origin based on the accent of Ray? I can only get so far as 'probably Canada or the US'.

Post whatever clues you find here.

I concur, 9/8, 9/9 is the earliest I've seen it. I sent e-mails to bloggers who posted that early, no responce yet.

Is there anything that can be extracted from the original file? Any originating information not viewable to the casual observer (or non-tech-savvy person like myself)?

The album name is bogus...

The longer we delay finding Ray the harder it will be. The remix phenom is propagating relatively quickly and leads are getting buried. Anyone know where Ze go the original?

The two oldest links I could find are:

http://www.aubreykjenkins.com/?p=109
http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-rwieP...MreBXU9s-?cq=1

Of course, it would help if Ze would tell us where he got it...

I e-mailed Ze and in a non-direct way asked for clues.
I didn't get any, but was really nice in his e-mail
I'll e-mail him againin, but I honestly think Ze got it in an e-mail, or off a blog.

Oh, and the aubreykjenkins blog entry (September 7) links to:

http://www.2girlsandamouse.com/A_Son...streatment.WMA

I don't think this is aubrey's hosting company, because her DN points to Cambridge, and 2girlsandamouse is hosted in Lansing, MI.

Maybe the 2girls can tell us where it came from?
