I finished it. How do you want me to label the file?

Well done!

The filename could be something like ghohor072_indark_clark_sl_128kb.mp3 (where sl are your initials, so feel free to adjust).

Hi there,

I hope you'll accept my recording of Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad by MR James.

It's my first recording and I hope it's suitable for you.

Thank you, James Evans! You got a great rendition of the story here! :clap:
Would you be able to remove any music and reupload the file?
And one more small addition, if you could add the author's name after the title at the beginning of the recording "Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad, by M. R. James"

Hi, sorry about that, I'm new to this whole recording thing and still getting my head around it all but I have made the amendments as requested and I hope it works for you.

Anything else by all means please let me know.

Thanks
James

Thank you for the corrections, which makes this a PL OK recording: Proof-Listened and all in order! (the filename does not follow the project's format, but I can fix that on my end)

As I said, this was a great rendition, wonderfully narrated! Even more so when it's your first recording! Any technical difficulties can be gradually overcome! So I hope you'll enjoy recording and produce lots more brilliant audio works! :9:

The Hermit of Ghost Mountain by C. Franklin Miller

This is easily one of the most ridiculous stories I've come across in the early years of Weird Tales! :lol:

Good Evening:

I am torn as to where to put this, but I have decided this is probably the best spot.

The Ode to Pegasus
By Maria Moravsky
From Weird Tales, November, 1926
Read by Dale Grothmann
Time 15:26


Audio at:https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/ghohor072_pegassis_moravski_dg_128kb.mp3

Text at: https://archive.org/details/WeirdTalesV08N05192611/page/n83/mode/2up

The last line -- "It was only his body worn to death by the tiresome realities of life." Makes this a Ghost story, but a very gentle one.
Enjoy

Dale

I found this in Gutenberg: so is it okay to record? Is anything in Gutenberg okay for us?

At Gutenberg.org, on the main page of the ebook (e.g. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1617 ), there's "Copyright Status" information, which for most books in Gutenberg.org is "Public Domain in the USA." You mention that your location is in Canada, and as far as I understand Canadian copyright law, the authors that are in the Public Domain for readers/listeners in Canada are those who died in 1971 and earlier. So you should be OK for this story, the author Mary E. Wilkins Freeman died in 1930.

Oh I think it's excellently horrific, both in content and in delivery! Thank you, Ben! PL OK!
