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...

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,

Section 9, The Outlander and the Native enclosed in 28:50: https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/oursouthernhighlanders_09_kephart_128kb.mp3 The last couple of paragraphs have a "warning...what you are about to view may be disturbing..." quality about them, but I'm this far in, may as well ...

As promised, I 'hurried back' to this title (can't believe more of it hasn't been snapped up already). I think I'll skip over section 8 (sounds like more moonshiner number crunching) and sign up for 9, please.

Thank you,
Brize

Not quite as humorous overall as i was expecting for satire, but got a huge kick out of little Boo, vexing her mother!

Thank you,
Brize

Could I take on 39 please? Kind of 'late to the party' but when I saw the parenthesized 'satire' I thought, 'just what I like'.

Thanks,
Brize

Sections 4 and 16 enclosed in 21:36 and 6:03, respectively: https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/undersixflags_04_davis_128kb.mp3 https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/undersixflags_16_davis_128kb.mp3 Good point, Brian, about the abundance of talented voices to teach Texas 'talk', though it turns o...

Section 3, Nacodoches (first three parts) enclosed in 19:28: https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/undersixflags_03_davis_128kb.mp3 Well I listened to snippets from Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison and Janis Joplin (early) recordings to try and nail down that east Texas dialect. Not much need, so far, as ...

Section 7, A Leaf From the Past, enclosed, in 29:08: https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/oursouthernhighlanders_07_kephart_128kb.mp3 Quite a few unattributed quoted passages that I wasn't sure how to read, but of course I love doing dialogue so generally treated as such, even if he was quoting writ...

Section 6, Ways That Are Dark, in 26:06: https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/oursouthernhighlanders_06_kephart_128kb.mp3 I had always thought that lyric from "Black Mountain Blues" - "...babies cry for liquor" was an exaggeration. "Tain't so", per the author! I love re...

This is a fine reading, Brize. I do have one pronunciation note - only one! :) at 6:00 Mispronounce the 2nd half of “contretemps” Here's a YouTube example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSCFQUFkwSo But the rest is really fine! Betsy Well, there I go again messing up a French sound - I keep this u...

Section 5, Moonshine Land, enclosed, in 19:45: https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/oursouthernhighlanders_05_kephart_128kb.mp3 Yes, very interesting stories and information. Plus i think I do 'highlander' much better than I do French. (Lot's of 'em cross the Ohio looking for work and settle up here...

Section 4, Smoky Mountain Bear Hunt, enclosed, in 45:09: https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/oursouthernhighlanders_04_kephart_128kb.mp3 Residents as rugged as the terrain! Allow me to continue on with section 5, Moonshine Land, please, I think we need a drink after that bear hunt! Thank you, Brize

Much better Brize. A few things off, but recognizable. So I think it's a go! - Betsy Don't interpret my tongue-in-cheek comment about the need to immerse myself in small-town Quebec as meaning I don't want to fix it anymore Betsy- just that my inexperience is a hindrance, particularly in a longer p...
