We are roughly 1/2 through the poem. I wanted to let you know how much I have appreciated your prompt PL work - it's been great!

Also, if you have any suggestions for mid-course corrections, let me know.

Now off to watch the Super Bowl!

Thanks I am really enjoying this epic poem and your presentation of it! Section 21 is PL ok.

With librivox down a while (for me) I have two sections in the can for you:

Kriemhild sets up luring Hagen into her clutches!!

Section 25 is PL ok.
Section 26 the Section Title in the MW doesn't match the book. Should be "Schwemmel". You have "Schlemiel" (as in Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!”

If you get that reference then you are showing your age as I am.

After you edit the Section Title you can just mark it PL ok. The recording itself is correct.

Could you have another listen? The W is pronounced like a V, so I hear "Schvemmel".

Also, I was born and raised in Milwaukee, so I grew up with The Fonz, Laverne and Shirley. Speaking of showing my age, there will be a gap in my recording work starting next Wednesday when I travel to Portland OR for a week for my grandson's 7th birthday. I will be away from my microphone for about a week, so you'll get a much-needed break from Kriemhild.

Let me know what you think of my pronunciation of Schvemmel.

Your pronunciation is spot on. It is just the text you put in the MW that was the problem. Sorry for the confusion. Hope you have a blast!!

Oooooooh, sorry I misunderstood. Yes, that's an infamous spelling auto-correct problem in the browser. Let me see if I can fix it.
