My grandmother had the spinning wheel her mother brought with her from Germany well over a hundred years ago. When I was a boy I'd go up into the attic to treadle it and listen to it whir. My daughter now has it and has begun to learn how to spin.
FYI - I will be away from Librivox for an extended period starting next Sunday and unable to record. I tried to be careful with all of the sections I have recently submitted and hope they won't need further attention if they aren't PL'd before then.

There are a few misreadings, but the only thing that needs correcting is the title of the poem. Somehow "Jane" got clipped from the recording, so all we hear is "Jones."
Just correct that and upload the new file under the same name and post a note here.
Thanks.
The file has been fixed, "Jane" is now audible.
Thank you!

Absolutely delightful.
And thanks for sharing your spinning wheel memories.
