Good reading, Brize. (Too early in my day for many bottles. :lol: I'll wait till dinnertime!) Just one item needs correction: At 31:05 You mispronounced “Sicilian” as if it were spelled “Silican”. Use this link and click the speaker button to hear the corrected pronounciation. https://translate.goo...

Section 15, The Blood Feud, enclosed, in 39:03:

You might need another shot of that moonshine to listen to these ...reflections!

Thank you,

Another good read, Brize. Just two comments: ---At 18:27 Mispronounce “maquis”. You had it perfect, except there’s no “r”. ---At 28:07 Written “…will but perceive…” Spoken “…will not perceive…” Betsy Good catches, both, Betsy. (At least I didn't Anglicize that word into ma-KWISS, as was my first in...

May I take on 23 and 24, please? That turnip tea sounds so good!

Thank you,

Oh Brize, I'm sorry for Section 15--my mistake. I will sign you up for 16. I won't reopen 15 in case you have started it. Let me know and I'll take you off it. I've just been a scatterbrain on this one! :oops: Good call, Amy, and yes I have recorded 15, and am looking forward to 16 (if only to get ...

Section 14, Law of the Wilderness, attached, in 30:43: https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/oursouthernhighlanders_14_kephart_128kb.mp3 This chapter was more about law (or lawlessness) than about wilderness, so allow me to skip over the 'feudin' chapter and take on Section 16, Who are the Mountaine...

I was unable to resist recording 'Abel Mulveny' in 1:03:

I really thought you did an admirable job on all the other languages. I actually speak some French, so that's why it's so likely I'll zero in on that. With "autres" you pronounced the "au" sound like "ott" in "otter". It should just be a straight "ote&qu...

Ironically, my only comment was actually about the pronunciation of "autres" in "nous autres" at 17:51. If you click the small speaker on the left side of the page at this link, you can hear it correctly: https://translate.google.com/?sl=fr&tl=en&text=nous%20autres&o...

Enclosed is section 13, The Mountain Dialect, in 45:16: https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/oursouthernhighlanders_13_kephart_128kb.mp3 Well, well, well, my eager anticipation of this chapter was NOT disappointed! Fun, fun, fun doing the dialogue and very interesting reading the discussions on the ...

Section 12, 'Home Folks and Neighbor People' attached in 27:58: https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/oursouthernhighlanders_12_kephart_128kb.mp3 You may notice that I've tweaked my pronunciation of 'Appalachia'. I happened to watch a TV show the other night featuring a couple of young singers from t...

Thank you for claiming!

I think you skipped over me! (Mebbee I talk too much, IDK). But I WOULD like to do sections 12 and 13, please.

Thanks,
Brize

Section 11, Land of Do Without, enclosed in 31:11: https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/oursouthernhighlanders_11_kephart_128kb.mp3 This book has developed in me a genuine affection for these folk! That may be partially because, had my own earliest New World ancestor not disembarked at Halifax, he m...

Section 10, The 'Peeps' of the Hills, enclosed, in 30:36:

And I don't think I want to 'do without' section 11, 'The Land of Do Without', so please sign me up for that as well.

Thank you,
Brize
