For LibriVox musicians:
I found a French song that could make a nice musical interlude in this collection. I was wondering if some of you might be interested in taking it on for the upcoming deadline of Aug 5 (very tight!). I can theoretically play some instruments badly and sing even more badly, but I would really rather yield the stage to someone more accomplished. I'm going to contribute a reading of an English translation.
It's a French royalist song whose lyrics are an imaginary speech made by Louis XVI to the French people. It's sung on an earlier tune called Pauvre Jacques.
Here's what Pauvre Jacques sounds like (when performed by world-class musicians):

I've already done my contribution, but I stumbled across this poem by William Butler Yeats with 'sixteen' in the title.
So perhaps someone looking for a short bit of poetry to record might wish to follow up on it.

PL Notes for Section 14 "Apollo 16" At 1:28 “another human body” should be “another HEAVENLY body”. At 3:15 “These and larger” should be “These and LATER. At 4:22: “…With the scientific” should be “ARMED with the scientific…” (the word “armed” got lost in a thump sound) At 15:30 “Termed ground trace” should be “Termed ground TRACK” Also at 15:46 “The ground trace” should be “The ground TRACK” At 20:21 “They will send” should be “They will HEAD” Nice choice for the 16th anniversary!

Hi. Here's a contribution of "Flying the Atlantic in Sixteen Hours, Chapter 7" by Sir Arthur Whitten Brown. The length is 11:33.
It's the story of the first successful non-stop transatlantic airplane flight, in the year 1919, from America to Ireland. Chapter 7 is "The Arrival". It's about reaching the destination.
