hehe, I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of my headset, hope it's here before the weekend!

I'll do a recording of Jaberwocky and post it for all to laugh at

hehe

My mother, being an actress and Thespian of olde, did a FANTASTIC rendition of Jaberwocky, and even though I only heard her do it once it really hit a chord.

No need to reserve a spot. Just post the poem when it's ready.

Oh I know, but I cant record right now and every time I think I'm going to post a recording for a particular collection, it fills up.

If we fill up we'll just move it to the next collection.

Welcome Alan. Great recording.

Here are a few things to be aware of in future. We don't usually use the full disclaimer for poetry, you can find the abridged one listed in the first post. Please, also refer to the first post for the id3 tags, I've fixed them for you.

P.S. Glad you liked Jabberwocky asy Eagerly awaiting your version now!

Would you like this here or would you prefer to wait and put it in the Aussie Collection?

oo ummmm good question. I suppose it probably really belongs with the other aussie ones. I will leave it up to you to make the executive decision however kristen!

Do you have any idea how hard it is to SAY this poem instead of singing?

kristin · Post by **kristin** » February 22nd, 2007, 11:56 am

Thanks, Laurie Ann.

Yes, I do, about as hard as it was for me to read Christmas Bells after singing it for the Christmas Carol collection. I just about gave up. It didn't want to be just words and it let me know that.
