Billy Whiskers at the Circus, by Frances Trego Montgomery (1858 - 1925)
What better place for a little goat to find adventures and mischief than a circus? What is an elephant's trunk anyway? But the circus can also be a place of mystery and danger. Will the plans of the kidnappers be foiled? Billy Whiskers always provides us with a lot of fun. (Summary by Larry Wilson)

Yes, needed until we fill this project. :wink:
The project is now set up.

The first thing you should do is Read the Newbie Guide to Recording. You will find the link in the introductory post in this thread, along with the specific instructions for this project. In that Guide you will find the instructions for completing a short test recording and how to upload it. This is just to check your technical specifications and any other issue with the recording itself, but is important to do. Once you have the "OK" on that, come back, read through the instructions again, and choose one of the open sections and we'll get you started recording.

Let me know if you have further questions. We're here to help you get off to a good start.
