Is the chapter I'll be reading to be slated as "Section 26" or "Chapter 19" or both?

And is the entire statement about Libribox recordings being in public domain - including solicitation to visit site for information or to volunteer - to be included as part of the introduction to every chapter?

yes, skipping a line like that, if the sentences still makes sense, that can happen.

And it's PL ok now, thank you

yes you did it correctly, the entire wording needs to be read in each section. We use "section 26" for the first part of the intro and "chapter 19" for the second part, which is the "title". Like you did

Here is section 26, My Musical Life:

a wonderful narration for this interesting chapter, thank you so much. Perfect pacing and clear diction, it was very easy to follow along and agreeable to listen to. Hoping to hear more from you in this or some other project along the way.

This is totally PL ok.

Only please always mention the length of the file when you post your links in our projects, so the MW can be updated right away.

Thanks

Hello Kitty
I'd like to claim section 7 on Lili Lehman. I have not been active for several years due to illness and travel and have forgotten many of the procedures. It will all come back once I start up again.

thank you for joining the project, Ruben. Please note this is section 15, not 13. In the first post you'll find the exact wording for the intro and outro (saying "section 15" in the beginning and at the end and then "chapter 13" as title only)

I hope you enjoy the chapter

thank you, Jonathan, an excellent narration and your German is quite good.

Wow, Madame Lehmann was quite a character.

I only have a couple of small edits to note:

> at 0:20: you forgot the second part of the intro and the title, please add: "My Musical Life, by Walter Damrosch. Chapter 7. Lilli Lehman"

> at 22:03: "why you have to engage that -- for New York" - our policy is not to add anything to the author's text, so I would only make either a pregnant pause here or simply read it in a continuous sentence, but we need to cut "other woman". I guess Lilli Lehman had a much stronger word for her rival here, otherwise it would not have been censured LOL

> careful with the filename, you had a typo in there (lif3), it needs to be: mymusicallife_07_damrosch_128kb

thanks
