IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Okay, let me get started with adding intro words and end of section words, concatenating shorter sections.

I was thinking saying at the beginning: "Companions and Gentlemen, and The General Situation", then a 2 second pause followed by "Companions and Gentlemen". At the end of that part, just saying "The General Situation" so the listener knows when I gone to the next. Okay?

Thank you Dave.

Do you want me to keep the pace of posting one a day? I don't want to overwhelm you with a bunch at one time. So I'm currently doing them one section at a time, but can do all of the rest in a few hours.

Some days are busier than others, but I can usually listen to several each day. I usually listen to each project's first upload before doing second or third uploads.
