Hi,

I followed a link here from Silliman's blog and have been listening to the sound files. Thanks for making these recordings available.

And now for your second comment. Excellent recordings. Not just the content, but sound quality too. By the way, this is Matt from IR yea those many years ago. Small world.

Just came on your site last night - what a great idea, thanks - I'm quite enjoying poking around. The 1st link of Laura's reading here isn't working - any chance it could be reloaded?

[Andrew Kenower]

Thanks for catching that, the link should work now. Glad you are enjoying the site!
