Usually it takes recording the phrase with the click and replacing it in the recording.

Thanks for the edited version. I'll check it later.

PL OK. FYI, I took it and applied a light noise removal (12 dB reduction) to lessen some of the background noise.

Hi
Here are two poems from William McGonagall who is generally considered to be the worst poet in the English Language which makes his poems quite fun even when they shouldn't be because the subject is a tragedy. He died in 1902 so should be well out of copy-right and all his poems are at www.mcgonagall-online.org.uk and I can'r find any mention of any copy-right on there. The Tay Bridge Disaster is his most famous poem and I did An Address to the New Tay Bridge since it sort of follows on, he also wrote an address to the original Tay Bridge but I thought putting that one with the one on when it collaspes wouldn't be a good idea.

It's best if you find an online text rather than one only in a paper book. Check the links in the first post.

Also, make sure the poem was published in 1922 or earlier.

An Address to the New Tay Bridge

0:00 - some thumps and bumps at the very beginning of the recording

A couple plosives in the very beginning

0:58 - "Near by Dundee and the Magdalen Green" should be "bonnie Magdalen Green"

4:17-ish - some noises in your end silence.

The Tay Bridge Disaster

About 3 seconds of silence at beginning; only needs 0.5-1 second (maybe cut out some of the thumps and bumps)

1:24 - loud click that you can zoom in and delete out
