Note:
I have taken #16 OUT of the line up...the "Fencers" story (A GALA NIGHT AT THE FENCERS-November 21, 1893 )had one mention of Twain...at the bottom, and only as someone who attended....interesting story...but...

16-19 are done

Are you planning on editing the source text document to remove that section? I could on the copy you uploaded, but it entails changing the section numbers on all the following articles, so if you're in there doing other things, you might as well do this, too.

What's the point? Can't one just skip an article that is not listed in the MW? I won't have any trouble doing that as DPL.

8 9 10 11 12 and 14 are all PL OK

13
2:24 and from blocks, delete and
Rattling sounds in the Outro

Suggestion: It is beginning to stand out as unnecessary repetiton for you to say the Title, by John Greenman, then repeat the Title. You also repeat the long project title twice within the first 15 seconds. Not much can be done about Vol 1 and 2, but from 3 on (a verrry considddderable nummmmber of articles, as Mark would say), I hope you will consider paring down the intro to avoid these repetitions:

EXAMPLE:
Section 13 of Mark Twain in the New York Times, Part 3, 1890 to 1899. This LV recording is in the PD, read by John Greenman. November 1st 1993, S. L. Clemens Tired Of Business . . . . read article

Ahhh!

I’ve updated the MW (Except i haven’t erased section 51) and will send in an updated zipped file of the sources.

Well... as Barbara Schmidt mentioned to me, i’ve found several GOOD articles that she missed and so I’d rather not spend extra time on ones that are really NOT worthwhile. It’s a questionof “time”

Ahhh!

I agree! And I’ll figure out something… I can’t drop my name though, because attributions are being changed and I’m really pissed off about that! So I’ll try to figure something out

OK
I like your suggestion..
Do you both think I can just start doing it now....in the middle of Part 3.
I don't see why not...

ALSO...
attributions being changed is something I found, inadvertently, when someone mentioned One Drive as a source for audiobooks and I found several of my recordings being offered but listing someone else as having recorded them!!!

Better late than never. However as it is only about deleting and organizing words and not adding any, I could go in and do that for you to make Vol 3 consistent. Might take 15 minutes.

I futzed with Section 2 to see if it really would be easy to adjust the intros without additional recording. Listen to this file, first the edited intro, followed by the original.
