My efforts are my own improvisations on traditional tunes as I think many people's would have been. That, at least, is my excuse for getting so many notes wrong
I agree that one can put an own interpretation into a song. So all is fine with me. Thanks
yes, a tragic development for us all I was hoping till the last that there would be a reversal of all this.
But at least here on Librivox we will never be hampered by borders or politics.
A lovely sad poem, thank you very much, Alan. Nicely narrated. I had to check on wiki whether they gave him an epitaph finally, and see that it's not even really clear where his grave is, so this poem is a fictional account. Interesting.
Hello Sonia,
I did record the remainder of my sections for this thread yesterday thinking of editing & getting them posted shortly.
Though I am relenquishing section 107.
Not a pleasant ending & I do not wish to
revisit it as I would to edit it.

I understand you. I have read this specific poem for another project already and I was completely in tears at the end of it. I will unassign you if it's too hard for you.
@Jim: thanks for your section, though I guess I will only PL tomorrow. But looking forward to some funny listen.
