Thanks Annie, that was a lot of fun! Well, fun in a disturbing sort of way anyhow... If you'd like me to do more, just assign them to me. I'll take whatever's left.

Got it, Chip, thanks! Wonderful reading, as always. One little thing is that it would be best to say at the end "end of Songs of Experience, The Sick Rose" instead of saying the title and author again. It doesn't really matter with this one since it isn't one of those titles that also appears in Innocence so don't worry about it with this one.

And whatever's left is yours... I believe that is:

Songs of Innocence:
06 - The Blossom
11 - A Cradle Song
14 - Night
18 - A Dream

Songs of Experience:
20 - Introduction
30 - The Angel
36 - The Little Vagabond
41 - A Little Boy Lost
42 - A Little Girl Lost

If that is too much, just let me know and I'll put some back up for grabs. Otherwise, we're fully subscribed and moving over to Readers Found!

Oops, somehow I missed 32 My Pretty Rose Tree, so I grabbed that one for myself.

Wow, you're so quick Chip! I look forward to listening to these when I get home from work. Thanks.

Great readings Chip! One thing that probably needs to be fixed: in 41, A Little Boy Lost, there is a line in the fourth stanza, "?Lo, what a fiend is here!? said he" and you read "friend" instead of "fiend." Usually I overlook small word deletions or alterations, but this is a significant one. Would you mind giving it another go?

Gee, I dunno... Fiend... Friend... is there REALLY all that much difference...?

Thanks for catching it! Here's the new one:

Heh, what a difference an "r" can make! Thanks Chip, sounds great.

Chip is certainly a Librivox Fiend!

(and I mean that in the best possible way!)

I really thank you all for making this possible. I worked in Broadcast from the time I was 14 into my mid 30s. I finally came to my senses and got a job in a field where I could actually make enough money to live on. Money just doesn't flow very freely in Broadcast, whatever people might think.

You don't work in a field like that without developing a passion for performance. Unfortunately, the requirements of working for a living make a side job in Broadcasting impossible for me. But LibriVox is perfect! Now I can perform on my own schedule and I've been eating it up!

Thanks SO much for creating an outlet like this which not only provides a wonderful venue for performance, but actually does a great public service as well!

This seems a great synergy between you, Chip, and Librivox

It's great that you are willing to give the benefit of your talent and experience, Chip!

Hey Annie, I didn't know - or forgot - that we had a Blake project going! How lovely. Something to look forward to! :) Thanks, everyone.
