Here's my recording...

The beginning is messed up a bit, but just keep going...

The poem is "Requiem for my body."

I hope you enjoy!

You would not believe how much work it took to get it here...

And some very special thanks to NYC_SKP...

2. My dear UrbScotty!

I'm so damn pleased you enjoyed this!

It was a ton of work, but with the invaluable help of NYC_SKP, I was able to get here...

And I really didn't try to sound great...just rattled it off in my usual way...

I will definitely be doing more verse for all of you...

I have to...I have to make that steep learning curve worthwhile!

And I thank you so much, sweetie...

4. My dear texanwitch!

Do I really sound like my picture?

Maybe I do...

The poem was the first one I ever had published, last year, in The Bellowing Ark.

Thank you!

5. You ROCK!!!

That's another great poem, Peg, and I'm so proud of you for overcoming the frustration that comes with technology.

Hearing your poem, by the way, makes "passing on" sound almost like something to look forward to.

But I don't mind waiting a bit... :P

you Rock! :loveya:

17. Much more powerful to hear your voice, rather than reading words!

Way to go!!. Did you use Audacity? Tough software to
figure out, but once you do, look out world!!

21. My dear liberaltrucker!

The voice is an amazing thing!

I did use Audacity...it's complicated, but as you say, once you figure it out...look out! And luckily, doing just voice recordings isn't too bad...

Thank you, sweetie...

23. Splendid!

There is nothing better than the author reading their work..It feels much more intimate and personal.
Your persistence in overcoming the technical learning is also praiseworthy. Thank you for so generously sharing the fruits of your tenacious spirit. You are also right on about NYC_SKP. He is the sweet go-to-guy!:loveya:

24. My dear seaker!

He is amazing! I must have called him at least 5 or 6 times last night, and he was patient and extremely helpful every time!

I told him I owe him a dinner!

I'm so pleased you enjoyed hearing this...

I had a lot of fun recording it...

Thank you...

26. My Dear CaliforniaPeggy.

Thanks for that poem. It was nice to finally hear your voice.

Body's burn out over time. This we know.

Souls go on forever and grow forever. The body is like a temp job.

You will be fine in the scheme of things.
