I'm but an intermittent volunteer, and I'm using a new microphone, so a good look at it might be in order.

Thank you, Sonia and David, for your flowery contributions!

MW is updated!
David, great to see you in the Poetry collection! All fine with your recording, sound quality and tech specs are excellent; I only had to change your initials into lower case. Upper case can mess up the alphabetical order of the files, so we only use lower case in filenames.
