Fear not: I've updated the MW and needed less than 40 sections. It's a big book.

Further updates to the MW.
More to come!
But, seeing as how, only my wife and myself are assigned readers on this project, I feel free to make adjustments as time goes on.

MrsHand: Section 1 -- the LONG one, is now ready at last for PLing.

You need to put your correct time in the notes field when you enter the link - it's a check that the file is all there.

Uploaded Chapter 02

This and the next chapter are all about Elmer Gantry and Jim Lefferts.
If I were restricted to only two adjectives for Elmer Gantry, they would be Robust and Profane.

In only later-to-come chapters does Sister Falconer come on stage.

Elmer gets his first taste of spellbinding a crowd. The hook is set.

You're on a roll! I'll start listening tomorrow, most likely!

Thank you so much, Kristin!

My wife's participation might be delayed - she just now tested positive for COVID! Poor Li'l Booger!

My wife's initial reaction to COVID is not good. Feeling terrible.

So, I have adjusted the Magic Window to show that *I* have been further assigned Chapters 4,5,6 and 7
(Sections 6-10).

I found the 1960 movie, for free, at

We'll watch it tonight when she goes to bed.

Have patience, please.

Uploaded Section 06, Chapter 04

https://librivox.org/uploads/annise/elmergantry_06_lewis_128kb.mp3 26:20

Other sections should arrive one-a-day.

Flora, too, is over the main brunt of Covid so she might start recording her sections this week, too.

Thank you for your patience.
