Re: 'Thank You' messages for LibriVox readers - continued

I want to express the warmth I felt while listening to Availle reading Jose Rizal's El Filibusterismo. Both from the work itself and from Availle's reading. The world is such a cold place for many of us and to hear such an outspoken account, through a fictional medium, I'm very encouraged. Jose Riz...

Just a quick heads-up: I have recorded my section, just needs edits. ;-)

I'm sorry for the delay - I've just recorded Fuji-san, just need a couple of days for the editing...

Thanks!

Re: Short Nonfiction Collection, Vol. 103 - jo

Thanks for the PLing, Sue. I'll consider making the change, I'm definitely OCD enough for that. ;-) Yes, Fermat's Theorem has been proved by Andrew Wiles in 1993, and he promptly (and deservedly) got famous for it. He worked on it for 10+ years, solo and without telling anybody to boot, which is ext...

Re: [FULL][Verse Drama] The Ring of the Nibelung by Richard Wagner - rr

Brian, if you'd prefer me to change the whole line to sound more "joyful", rather than include the laughter, I can certainly do that. It's your project, I don't mind either way, honestly. Just let me know. Yes, we admins did come up with that limit on DRs for a reason, and it wasn't "...

Hi Brian, here's a quick take on the "joyful laughter", which doesn't sound very joyful to me. I'm really better at maniacal cackling, witch that I am. :twisted: https://librivox.org/uploads/redrun/nilung_brunnhilde_joyfullaughter.mp3 Valkyrie part is in progress, thanks for your patience!...

Back to my roots! Here is my contribution, an early (fairly popular) account on Fermat's Last Theorem, or A Few Classic Unknowns in Mathematics by Prof. G. A. Miller taken from The Scientific Monthly, October to December, 1915 https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/987 https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyourave...

Re: Most popular public domain works in LV?

I thought I had done a staff picks list dedicated to this, but I can't find it at the moment.

If you use as a measure "most different language versions", Jules Verne comes out on top; I believe it's the "in 80 days around the world".

Re: [TONEEL NL] Naakt Model door C.S. Adama van Scheltema - avai

Ja. :thumbs: It's easiest to make up your own melodies for the songs (he sings to himself when drunk if I remember correctly). Another option is to look for public domain melodies, but we'd like to see proof of that (publication dates etc.) Don't worry too much about matching the pieces that are spo...
