Folks,

Some of you that are Celtically inclided or Celto-curious have been waiting
for our Dan's Cornish sound file.  Well, it is available now:
http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/index.php?page=kernowek

Unfortunately, this scaled-down version (reduced in size) does not do the
original justice.  Nevertheless, it is very nice indeed.  Thanks, Dan!

By the same token, please don't let professional actors like Daniel Prohaska
and Hannelore Hinz
(http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/index.php?page=mekelnborgsch)
intimidate you!  And please send in and/or solicit more translations and
sound files!

Well, I listened to a bunch of our recordings last night, and I have to say 
that *all* of them are really pretty good (not talking about a couple of 
mine, which I'll redo).  Apart from my fellow-parrot-head Mike Szelog I want 
to make special mention of our two Belgian Lucs whom I hadn't specifically 
mentioned before:

Western Flemish (Luc Vanbrabant):
http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/index.php?page=westvlams

Merchtem Brabantish (Luc Helinckx):
http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/index.php?page=brabants

(Remember: despite his surname, Luc Vanbrabant is *not* the Brabantish 
speaker.)

Didn't they do great jobs as story tellers convincing playing the parts of 
the wren and his kids?  It's a joy!

OK, folks.  Maybe this will motivate you to do your parts or to recruit your 
family and friends to do so.  Yes, anonymous works will be just as 
gratefully accepted.  Also, we could do with more personal introductions 
(http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/index.php?page=members), and this 
goes for those who just joined us as well.

I keep getting very positive comments about our anniversary site.  So people 
*are* finding and enjoying it.  Let's keep it going!

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
