Time is 36:45. I think every state of the union message I have recorded has complained about the condition of the Merchant Marine (in which my grandfather served), Wilson being just the latest. Of course, now with Europe at war, it is a real problem. I'll leave it to others to learn if anything is ever done about it.

Thanks, Linny.

hi Joanne,
I'm sorry for such a long delay in PLing. I've been working again and trying to get used to the new daily schedule has been more complicated than anticipated.

Section 2 is PL OK...as always. Thank you for your efforts and for your grandfather's service. The Merchant Marine does seem to be a recurring theme. :(

[19:04]

I added a line.

No no, I mean I added a line up from Section 4.
Section 4 will start one line later.
OK, I admit it...this word was new for me "suzerainty". :roll: Your overlordship may move lines from track to track as he deems appropriate. Well, as long as the lines are of his domain. :wink:

Oh and, of course, PL OK.

[37:45]

begins one line later than suggested.
8:34 please delete the recorded word 'not' - They are the only shuttles that can weave the delicate fabric of sympathy, comprehension, confidence, and mutual dependence in which we wish to clothe our policy of America for Americans.

Thank you for your patience with my delayed PLing.

12min 38sec Woodrow Wilson 1916
Well done!
The only changes needed are to the silences. Opening silence should be less than 1 second. This is ~1.5 seconds. Ending silence should be ~5 seconds. This is at ~3.5 seconds and therefore runs the risk of being cut off during playback.

Glad it came out ok. Sorry about the time thing. Is that something that I fix or you fix? Sorry, I'm still new to this site. And if it is something that I fix is there a wiki to tell me how? Thanks!

22:48 Woodrow Wilson 1917. I figured out how to fix the silences! This one should be better. I will attempt to alter my 1916 file and re-upload if that is what I'm supposed to do?
This one was a lot of fun. Turns out there's a lot of emotion in a speech where you get to declare war :D

Section 5 is spot check PL OK. Fingers crossed that by 're-do' you meant you made the corrections and didn't do an entire new read. :shock:

Ending silence is ~6 seconds but that's better than too short. Just know that some folks REALLY think ~5 is interpreted as 5. As the reader you have the right to say, "I think it's close enough, but thanks for the note. I'll keep an eye on it for next time."
