Hi, I'm sorry for the delay—unfortunately, I thought I still had the old files on my computer but I wasn't able to find them. I think I may not get around to rerecording them anytime soon, so this project can be deleted for now if you think that's for the best.

Thanks,

JR

OK, I'm sorry, I really don't know what happened there. I had uploaded most of the files and the DPL had gone through them and commented on each one.

Hi everyone—I was sorry to hear about the crash, and thanks to everyone who's been working to fix things. I have a quick question about a project, which has probably been answered further up in this thread but I'm having trouble figuring the situation out exactly. There was a solo project that I'd s...

Great, thanks Dave! Just my luck—over the last 48 hours i've come down with a bad cold, and with my voice the way it is now I can't put the finishing touches on the first section after the preface (which, as I suggested above, will probably group together at least a couple of chapters). But I'll try...

(Oh, and one more thing: I like the idea of one section per chapter, so that was my default assumption for this project, but now that I'm really thinking about how short the chapters are, maybe it would be better to to group them together? Something like four chapters per section, which would mean s...

OK, thanks! And yes--I'm not always the best at telling how long something will be, but I'd guess this will come to around two hours.

OK, a recording of the preface (03:56) is now ready for PL:

The first few chapters should be up soon too.

Great, thanks so much! I'll get started. I'm excited to work on this project, since it's closely related to my first solo, Du Bois's life of John Brown (in fact Du Bois quotes from it a fair amount), but also significantly shorter.

A Voice from Harper's Ferry by Osborne Perry Anderson (1830 - 1872) . This project is now complete! You can find it in the catalog: https://librivox.org/a-voice-from-harpers-ferry-by-osborne-perry-anderson/ A Voice from Harper's Ferry is the abolitionist testament of Osborne Perry Anderson, the onl...

OK--I hope this now sounds at least a little better?

Thanks, Diana--I'm adjusting a few things and trying to minimize the fuzz. For some reason I think even though the settings were the same as in my initial test, the microphone wasn't picking me up quite as well for some of this, which I'll be more careful about in the future. When I have a new (idea...

OK, here's a recording of my section (14:59): http://uploads.librivox.org/knotyouraveragejo/lives4_08_vasari_128kb.mp3 I decided to go ahead and anglicize de Vere's name for now--and, again, I tried to follow the pronunciation guide, but I'd be happy to rerecord part of it if there's a problem with ...

Thanks! I've recorded most of my section but I might make a few little adjustments before I submit the file. The pronunciation guide is so helpful, and I've done my best to follow it in my reading. Actually if there's anyone whose name I'm wondering the most about now, it might be the translator! At...

OK, thanks--I'll go ahead and try #8. And for the catalog I could just use my full name, JR Martin, if that works. Thanks again!

Oh, sorry, I just noticed that Julia had also asked about #9. Let me know if it would be better for me to do something else.
