Section 3 is PL ok. A great story; excellently read!
Btw to save you a few precious moments, once you put the file and its length in the MW, you do not have to copy it into the thread since you are the BC. Just post that the Section # is Ready for PL.
Hope this helps,
Christine

Ah, got it. Thanks. Certainly an offbeat story but glad you enjoyed it.

[eprof]

So, Christine.

The next story, "Nigger Jeff," also turned out to be longer than normal, so I split into two parts. What should be the numbering and namely of the two parts for recording purposes?

You can rename Section 04's Section Title to be "Nigger Jeff Part 1" and, I will add a new section 05 in the appropriate place, you can place "Nigger Jeff Part 2" as that Section Title.
Sound good?

[eprof]

Sounds good, thanks!

Thanks! These are in line for PL.

Section 4 Very enjoyable listening. Horrible title he chose in my opinion. Just one note:
12:02 should be "He was not to be ridden beyond midnight." I heard "He was not to be ridden before midnight."
Best,
Christine

Section 5: Great job!! Just one more note:
11:25 should be "Davies ran for his own horse"; I heard "Davies ran for his own house"

[eprof]

Both great catches, Christine. Thank you. I don’t know that I would have heard those slips.

In future sections you can use the alternate script for solos on page one of this thread, if you want. It's shorter.
