Thank you!
Thank you debolee, there are a few tech issues to correct...
- your bitrate is 119 kbps (variable), we need 128 kbps (constant) (this is set when saving/exporting as mp3
- the volume is too low at 81.2 dB, you should aim for your waveforms to peak near the 0.5 mark, like this:

You can check your volume using our Checker program - see info at http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Checker You will find the volume in decibels on the Information tab. For your information, we look for around 89 dB (87-91 is OK) (all the other tech specs are there also)

Could you make these corrections and upload please (using the same filename)

Ah, apologies! New computer, new audacity, new mic... I hope I got it right this time.

It has been a while since I last recorded, but I think I am in the catalog as Maria Morabe (and a website to be linked could be yayforbooks.carrd.co)

This one threw me, because I was sure there was a typo Sir Rowland Hill lived about the same time, regarded as the father of the UK postal system. So, now I've found a new poet.
