Three sections have been added to the roster of PL OK offerings.

Notes on Section 20:

You read a bit too much with the section between 7:53 and 8:11 not needed.

The silent period at the end of the recording needs to be trimmed to five seconds.

Other than those two things, a nice job of reading. Make those corrections and it will definitely be PL OK.

Let's hear more from you soon.

'Buy more Whiz Bangs' pitch removed & a couple seconds removed from ending silence. The new length is 8:09.

Can anyone explain to me why the line 'Williams Purple Cow' is in there?

In the early 1900's, The Purple Cow was the student newspaper of Williams College in Massachusetts.

The Purple Cow was also the Mascot of Williams College, which I didn't know.

Originally from the poem by Gelett Burgess,first published in 1895.


The Purple Cow by Gelett Burgess

I never saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.

I remember this from my High School English class.
It got so popular and bandied about, the he published this poem in the last issue of his school paper:

Ah, yes, I wrote the "Purple Cow"—
I'm Sorry, now, I wrote it;
But I can tell you Anyhow
I'll Kill you if you Quote it!

That was not heeded, of course.

Where he got the idea of a purple cow, I don't know.
It may have been original with hime.

I'd be interested in taking section 18, Our Rural Mail Box / He Led in Prayer.

Thanks,
