At 5:40-:42, there is a stumble that needs to be cut out.

I think you had a lot of fun reading this one! It shows!
I certainly did have fun with this one ... what a gripping account, it was a pleasure and honor to interpret it.

Here is the corrected version:

Thanks for picking me up after my stumble. :wink: Take care and be of good cheer.

Oh, great! No problem, Colleen! Some of these are a challenge, or long, or both, or real life just decides that LV is not so important! Thank you!

Just an update - I have recorded two of my remaining three sections (and would have done the third today if the neighbor hadn't decided it was an excellent moment for an extended session of leaf blowing) and will be editing them in the next day or two and getting them in. Hopefully I can get that final section down after it gets dark tonight!

Yeehaw! :clap:
Washington Irving sure pulls at the heartstrings as he spins the tale of the end of the Moors in Spain -- weaving as he does, a vivid contrast between the tragic Boabdil and the magnanimous victors Ferdinand and Isabella.
I am really appreciative of being able to read this story.
Be of good cheer, and a Merry Christmas to you.

Needless to say, quite a few things have been named after Balboa, such as the currency of Panama. Anyway, see for yourself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasco_N%C3%BA%C3%B1ez_de_Balboa#Legacy
