I have orphaned an overdue section

I would like to claim section 4 The Ballet Girl

Two days ago, The New York Times began an article stating, "Almost 100 years ago, responding to the public outcry over the violent drowning of a black boy by a white mob at a public beach on Lake Michigan, a citywide (multiracial but white-led) commission published “The Negro in Chicago: A Study of ...

May I claim the first two chapters of this book?

Thanks so much, Tricia, for finding this collection and sharing it with us. Such fun! And the cover is adorable!

I am interested in claiming chapters when you are ready. This story looks intriguing!

Kevin, I'm glad that you brought this up. At first, I thought that each chapter should be recorded as one section, as long as it fits on a CD.

You're welcome and thank You for participating! This collection wouldn't be possible without all you readers of poetry!

I was trying to figure out the punchline to the perfect little boy - it wasn't what I suspected!

Same here! I thought he was talking (incorrectly) about himself.

Hi Rapunzelina! I hope that you and your loved ones continue to be well.

I had a few (what I think are basic) Audacity questions that I can't seem to find answers to. Any information on any one of these points would be welcome! I'm still new to Audacity and am not as technically savvy as some of my other colleagues in this noble endeavour appear to be, so part of my pro...
