Fifty Years by "James Weldon Johnson"
1863 - 1913
Length 5 min 49 sec

Hi Darrell! I love your selection of poem! And your delivery

I have two suggestions for optional edit. Optional as, if you're having trouble recording, it might be more trouble than it's worth.

1 around 0:32 a phrase is missing "Look farther back! Three centuries!"

2 around 3:56 text is "No! stand erect and without fear" but it sounds a bit like "Not stand erect and without fear"

Let me know if you'll be able to edit, otherwise, I'll go ahead and mark it PL OK

Hey FoxSox!

Welcome to the Poetry Collection. Because the recordings are usually short, we are using a short version of the disclaimer. More details in the first post, but in essence, it's:
"[Poem title], by [author], (translated by - if applicable) read for LibriVox dot org by [your name]". Then the poem, and at the end: "End of poem. This recording is in the public domain." + 5" silence.

Would you be available to change the intros/outros for your recordings?

Thank you, Darrell! Two more great selections!
Just one request; if you could switch to the short disclaimer for the intro of these poetry recordings. Also, The Word of an Engineer is missing the outro. If it's not convenient for you to edit for some reason, I could perhaps copy and use your short intro from your first contribution, just let me know

Hi Rapunzelina

Will correct both and resubmit Saturday morning!!

Thanks
