I had this one, but you wanted the other one. After I posted the play I thought, Why not a little bonus? Some people like the books over the plays. Not me, but some people. In case anyone is wondering, the program that I use to download from Usenet has a feature that alerts you with the capitalization that the segment is incomplete. 99% of the time it is just that the program missed the completion signal. I checked these and they appear complete. I used to rewrite the title to small letters when this happened and they were OK. i decided not to this time, it is a royal pain. i hope you enjoy it.--Rick
I often like to have both the book on audio and the play where possible as they each bring a different energy to a story and depending upon a mood as to which I will choose to listen to at any given time.
