Title: Desiderata
Post by: folderol on August 11, 2019, 01:49:48 PM
I originally posted this many moons ago, but recently brushed it off and tidied it up. I was going to re-do the reading itself, using a decent microphone, but then remembered how many hours it took last time so chickened out :o

Anway, it's now on soundcloud here (https://soundcloud.com/soft-sounds/desiderata)

I'm old enough to remember this tract being sold or even given away in all the hippie shops back in the 60s. I think there is a back story to the text ... ahh, yes: many thought it to be from the 1600s, but in reality it is a poem written by  Max Ehrmann in the 1920s (thanks Wikipedia!). Nevertheless, they are good words and impart a good message.

I really like the background track you created. Very nice! Your voice recording sounds just fine with my equipment.

I am also old enough to remember this :'(

Your spoken word was really good.  Your backing tracks were excellent!

I don't mind getting more mature but I do object to the falling apart as I do it.

It's our grey beards which give us away :) I grew mine for awhile a few years when I was in hospital for a week and I looked 10 years older, something I really can't afford. The razor took care of that very quickly!
