Thread Name: C. Fox Smith Sea Poems (PermaThread)
Subject: RE: C. Fox Smith Sea Poems
Well, I now have MP3 files of my adaptations of three C. Fox Smith poems:

Flying-Fish Sailor
Limehouse Reach
Shanghai Passage

Each one is about 1 mg in size, at a modest 32 kbts. I've recorded them directly into the computer via a Spirit Folio Notepad by Soundcraft – a new and exciting experience for myself, my partner, and our cat; the recording software is Cool Edit 2000. I've accompanied myself on 5-string banjo. I've also done a modest amount of adaptation with the lyrics, primarily to make them more singable.

I've already e-mailed copies to Danny McLeod and Bob Zentz but would be willing to do the same for a few other VERY interested people.
