Voice Request

I loved that. Mmm...he plays guitar, and has a way with words. You just get better and better. :):heart:

P.S. Did you say 'idear'? :p

Oh dang, that was wonderful to listen to. I hope it wasn't just this once. Another happy listener here. :):heart:

P.S. You can say idear all you want. ;)
 
Unfulfilled audio request

murmurmara: please tell us about your favorite indulgent food
 
sorry I fell behind with responses... and I still owe the group two requests.

elli1: thoroughly enjoyed your avatar story, and your request about character flaws keeps pulling at me for an answer.

DesEsseintes: I share your character flaws, and agree fully with your assessment. Love how you put it... When I would mentally absent myself in a book or daydream, my family used to say "she's in her ivory tower."

DukeSupernature: Dogfood/dog names conversation starter was inspired. Who could turn away from That!? Thanks for the word about your sobriquet -- your vocabulary is as much of a turn-on as your guitar playing. It's apparent you know how to turn up the heat -- your imagination is apparently incendiary enough [date night car fire], let alone kicking pillows into candles... But I have to know, do you really have a dog or was the Barkley story invented? Just last week, I hung out with a dog named Barkley. Oh... and sharing your love between two [guitars]... I trust you're keeping them both happy.

RawHumor: some of us are still waiting for you to record yourself delivering your signature line... pretty please... or any other request that's been made here. Do keep playing!

MadRose: thanks for a great response to my food indulgence request. yum! wonderful description of the joys of sweets... I'm a sweet tooth, too, especially anything lemon.
 
Done.

I would like someone to describe a view near them which makes them happy.
That was beautiful, thank you. :) I even loved listening to your introduction. I can tell the subject of language is your passion with your sensuous delivery. :heart:

This got me excited about looking up my Scottish family history. I'm related to a slightly famous female bard to the Gaelic Society of Inverness. Her name is Mary Cameron MacKellar. She published a couple of books in the late 1800's, and was also published in newspapers and magazines of her time. Can you read Gaelic? It would make my day to hear you read one of her poems. Her works are on Amazon, but also available for free online: Poems and Songs in Gaelic and English :heart:

Lemon anything is also my very favorite, but didn't feel as indulgent. :):heart:
 
I also agree to get more participation and requests for audio, multiple people should be able to fulfill any request that tickles their fancy. :)

I agree and hope that Backdoor Bella is okay with her thread's evolution. I think we can learn about each other and build connections with multiple responses to the same requests. I have a house full of guests, but my mind is ticking away and I look forward to recording in a few days.

DessEsseintes: thanks for the Middle/Old English! You remind me of the only other time I've heard it read aloud... when a college friend from Massachusetts went to Dublin for four years to study it. He told me that Finnish was close...

DukeSupernature: beautifully evocative word painting of your view... thanks!
 
Done.

you can actually read and understand OE?

no, finnish isn't really related to OE. OE is a germanic language and germanic languages have descended from proto-indo-european. finnish is a uralic language derived from proto-uralic. some linguists have suggested a relationship between indo-european and uralic languages, though, but even if that's the case, OE and finnish would be like each other's 23th cousin 17 times removed.

thanks, elli, always glad to learn something

and what a challenging poem, The Chaos
I thank you for introducing the word sough, which was new to me, and a treasured sound for which I wanted a word. But hough!?!
I've only read it to myself, not aloud yet
 
The Chaos

I gave it a shot, slipped a few times, but mostly muddled through. Very tough, and what you hear is my first time reading it so I know I got a bit of the words completely wrong. Oh well.... ;)
