This is splendid, Holger! I can only express my hope that also the other
written versions of "De Tuunkrüper" will be available in a spoken
version!
In a way or another, our writing don't reflect totally the human sounds;
even a phonetic writing isn't complete at all.

Greetings from Flanders,
Zalig Kerstfeest en een gelukkig Nieuwjaar!

Holger,

I agree with Stefaan about this being splendid.  Let's try and work out
some kind of linkage or something after the holidays.  Also, I would
welcome some pointers as to how to make this type of large sound file,
especially once you've worked out a more condensed version.  It would be
great to have some more sound files to go with this, to be added to or
linked with the story versions at
<http://www.geocities.com/sassisch/rhahn/low-saxon/ls-story.html>.

Happy holidays!

Reinhard/Ron
