Thank you so much pat

Could it be that you overlooked section 50? Thank you!

Hi Pat.

Your reading of the poems is lovely!

I did notice a high-pitched noise in the background throughout each of the files, although it was a lot louder on the first and last sections (49 and 81). I tried running it through a noise removal filter in Audacity and it helped but didn't fully remove the hum. I'm not an expert in high-pitched hums so I don't have any suggestions on how to fix it, other than making sure there's not a computer fan running or a light or other electrical device nearby your recording area giving you an added hum.

So my PL Notes are, please run a noise removal filter on Sections 49 and 81 to at least get that background noise down a bit. For Sections 54 and 69, please trim the beginning silences to between 0.5 and 1 second long.

Let Carolin or I know if you have questions about this. Thanks!

Jill

Carolin - I was sure that I had sent Section 50 long before the others but if you can't find it I will do it again.
