Paul loaned me a microphone today, and I actually think it makes the recording better. There’s too much puffing on the P and B and F, but other than that, I think it sounds really good.
So, with that, I’ll leave you to listen to Mr. Lear, and his remembrances of his late Uncle Arly.

On the technology front, I saw someone recommend Audacity, and decided to give it another try, and I’m very very pleased. I have been using HackTV, which is fairly nice, but a little too simple, and requires too many additional steps. It records .mov files, which I then have to import into iTunes and export as mp3 files. Not only is this an additional step, but I end up with 3 copies of the recording which I have to then go clean up.
Audacity seems to make a better recording, too, for some reason, and exports directly to mp3.
Calico Pie is a poem we used to read at Turi, so I actually did quite a bit of it from memory, which surprised me. I’m always amazed at how poems stick in my brain for years and years after I last heard/recited them.
