all right, finally ready to upload Phantasmagoria, co-recorded by John (jburlinson) and me. We both did our best with the reciting but I think John deserves an extra accolade for editing the whole thing together in such a phantasmic way (pun intended)

Phantasmagoria by Lewis Caroll (1832–1898)

Duration: 32:47

I hope you have fun (and be careful around 17:20 !)

Thanks for your note, Sonia. And thank you for proposing this delightful poem -- and, of course, for your excellent, as usual, reading. You make even a ghost come alive.

Len!

We've missed you! I hope you're doing great! Thank you for your recordings! I have added the two into the Magic Window, but the first one didn't have a publication date. Searching the internet I found it on a paper published in 1939. To be sure it's in the public domain, we need it to be 1922 and earlier. So for now I haven't added it, and will look for more info, or if you find more information let me know.

And thank you, Ross, Matt, Sonia, John and Craig! Each contribution is awesome!

Len, I've just remembered - was your birthday at the beginning of the month? I have a somewhat hazy recollection of you mentioning that last year. If I'm not mistaken, then, belated though it is, happy birthday!

Ah, thank you for remembering, Erin! I am surprised and delighted. Yes, I was a Mayday baby in 1930, which means that I just hit 86 a few days ago. I'm still going strong--just appeared in a play which closed the day before my birthday--still singing, but not dancing or directing. I'd like to know when your birthday is, if you don't mind, but you may omit the year.

Best wishes,
Len
