I have the next file ready, but I am having difficulty uploading. I will try again another day.

Hi, progressingamerica--Looks like quite a lengthy section. I'll be ready to PL when you get it uploaded. Thanks!

I think I have it this time, could you take a listen and see if all is well?

Hi, progressingamerica--very nice job on a long section.

Section 30: PL OK

I will mention one thing. At ~37:47 (page 333 in the .pdf text), there is a 5-second silence. I don't think that it is a huge problem, and maybe not worth re-uploading such a lengthy file another time. It just made me pause to check out what was going on in the text. I have marked the section "PL OK", so it's up to you if you feel that it should be changed or not.

Thanks!

I re-uploaded 30. That shouldn't be there. Here are the next two.

The introductions(and closing) of 30-32 should be consistent, if you could review the three with a focus. As I look at this section of the book, it appears as if it might have been intended as a whole other book or pamphlet but got put together into this one. But I couldn't record it as "chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3" as written. That would confuse any listener, I think.

Let me know your thoughts. If I really need to change something, I can. I'm up to page 387 on the last section.

I really appreciate your efforts.

Very nice job on the last sections posted, progressingamerica--thank you.

Section 31: PL OK
Section 32: PL OK

I agree--it might be confusing to start again with "Chapter 1...Chapter 2...Chapter 3" when you are near the end of the recording. So I think that "Section #" works very well. Your intros for the three sections are entirely consistent. As for the outros--

Section 30: "End of Chapter 19, Section 1"
Section 31: "End of Chapter 19, Section 2"
Section 32: "End of Chapter 19"

But that seems fine to me as you've completed Chapter 19. (And I appreciate your efforts on this project as well.

)

Hi, progressingamerica--Couple of fixes needed, just some quick deletes.

Section 33:
--At ~17:01 (p. 391 of the PDF text) there is a repeat ""Most honora--How honorable, how creditable to the Uni--How honorable, how creditable to the United States..."
--We have 11 seconds of silence at the end, but need only 5 seconds of silence on this recording since it is less than 30 minutes in length.

That's it--I'll recheck when you've uploaded the corrected file. Thanks!

progressingamerica · February 14th, 2016, 12:54 pm

The file was re-uploaded with that removed.

Thanks! Happy Valentines Day!

Belated Happy Valentine's wishes to you also! All good on the fixes.

Great job on this project, progressingamerica. I enjoyed the history, and I enjoyed your recordings very much--I know that others will as well.

So I think that we are ready for cataloging now. Thank you again!
