We finished putting the missing pieces in A Christmas Carol so Andy can listen to it in peace. In a letter to his sister and brother he said I did it because I was tired of “hearing the whining about the dropped parts.” I was thinking I was doing it as a labor of love, but he does have a point too. Anyway, we’re both happy tonight.

Congratulations! Do you think you will be able to let us all hear it via a podcast?
You can already hear almost all of it if you go to my post The Internet Scores Again. After you listen to both parts I can tell you where the missing parts are and what they contain. In fact, even though Andy is happy with our new version, I have trouble hearing it in a couple of spots. So after some research on 78 rpm cartridges, I ordered one from Amazon. Hopefully we can install it and the sound quality will be better. Even if it isn’t, we will have learned a lot.
cute – comment from Andy 🙂
I liked it too. 🙂
somehow i can’t hear andy whining about anything! nor you!
a very lovely gift indeed. ?
He may not have been whining, but it was clear those two missing pieces bothered him. Even though I can’t make out a few of the words in the version we made, he doesn’t have any trouble understanding them because he knows them by heart. For him it’s much better than them being gone.
oh cathy!
i enjoyed every bit of this post. i followed all the links.
it was just wonderful learning more about new zealand.
‘little glow worm’ is a favorite song of mine. i never even knew there was such a REAL thing as a glow worm and how it lives! what a magical and beautiful land you have.
i even clicked on ‘where to eat’ at the bay there and nary a blasted western fast food chain in sight. THANK GOD!!! 😀
well…
i am just a technological wonder! LOLOL.
i clicked on cathy’s post from here on her comment. i often do that. it’s quick.
left what i thought was a comment on her blog and it wound up HERE!
sorry monk! LOL.
XO
No problem, tammy. I enjoyed reading your comment.
I knew dozens of people. Had lots of great friends. They’ve either died 🙁 moved away, have cells so are no longer in phonebook/can’t locate them.
SOOOoooo you Jean, Mike, Cathy, Ramana, no particular order here, Evan, tammyj, whom have I left out? –are now my official FAMILY of FRIENDS.
I feel that way too. I think it was either tammy or Cathy that told the joke of the fellow who said about his laptop, “Be careful, all my friends are there.”
