[Bards] hello, Bards!

[Robert Fitzmorgan]

    I don't recall much discussion online about this but some of us have
been talking about something like this among ourselves.
   I don't know if anyone is actually making recordings yet other than you.
I would think that MP3 would be the best format for the audio files.  Since
the source is mono you could use a pretty high compression rate and still
have acceptable quality.
   I think it would be great if several people were recording stories of our
history and sending them to a central location.  So far as I know no such
central repository has been setup yet.
