I am seriously tempted by the opportunity of mangling both Scottish AND French accents in 10, The Inexcusable Improbity of Tom, the Piper’s Son.

May I, please?

Welcome on board ref

sec 4 all yours

@ Dsayers
PL on your file
00:55 original text =Though she treated them all with a high hauteur.
You say....frequently treated them....
No problem though ..it still sounds great.

Another point you uploaded a stereo file - it should be mono-
The ID tags had "soup of alphabets" as Album title.
I have converted to mono and corrected the ID tags.
Miss Muffet is already up...you'll have to chose another.

Excellent reading, very listenable and amusing - Thanks so much for that

I'll fix the "frequently" in Mice, it won't take a sec.

I want to do Jack Horner, 05, can I? It's one recording away from my Bo Peep.

I've uploaded the corrected version of 16. I think I fixed the stereo but can't be sure ... I'm using GarageBand. You may have to change the newest version to mono.

I think I got the ID3 tags right this time.

Can I take Section 8 -
The Gastronomic Guile of Simple Simon?

Could I please have section 13? I took Italian in college, so I should be able to manage it without too much embarrassment.

JessicaLouise · Post by **JessicaLouise** » September 29th, 2008, 7:50 pm

I hope I'm not breaking the rules by recording before having my claim acknolwedged, but it just looked like too much fun to wait! Here is tale number 13, The Mysterious Misapprehension Concerning a Man in Our Town.

http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/lb/gooseforgrownups_13_carryl.mp3

Duration is 2:37.

I'm still quite new to this, so please let me know if I messed anything up.

Thanks,
JessicaLouise
