Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Zero Brakes Allowed Its-all-here I’m on go — no brakes, no doubt, Every second lit like a knockout bout. Midnight hustle, sun-up grind, No map for this — I blaze my line. Zone locked in, no outside noise, This is grown-man game, not toys. Break the system, flip that code, Heart on fire — ZERO BRAKE MODE. I move fast, with soul and sound, Turn dark days into battlegrounds. This is life with no fear allowed, Watch me rise — stand back, stay proud. Screen Guild Theatre Digitally Restored zhaoguiwen This is the BEST Quality set of Screen Guild Theatre shows currently available ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!! Yet it is not the most Complete.Nicholas Hans Gary:I have spent many years tracking down these shows from MANY difference sources (Official Cassette, LP Vinyl, Digital etc) and enhancing shows that are of lower caliber quality so as to try to remove muffling, overblown sharp highs, enhance vocals, tighten bass, clean audio, remove hiss, pops, normalize volume level throughout the entire episode etc. On every episode I also normalized the audio levels of audience clapping throughout the episode and loud music portions to be very close to that of the actual performance instead of 4-5 times the volume.ALL episodes in this collection are of what I consider Very Good audio quality, I have done my very best to find ALL available good q
