Hi Alex, we 'av'nt met avore, vor I be a Darzet man an'write in that dialec'. Noo I'm a-needen t'embed my pwomes on thik site an' many wold vreinds ov yours av pointed me in yur direcshun. Can ye tell a needen man 'ow t' do't?
I've learnt how to embed videos to support my prose and poems and would love to oblige the many reviewers who want to hear me speak them. So far, I've had nothing but praise and enthusiasm, except for two lasses, one of whom asked why I couldn't use English, while the other said my written French was good!!
I hope I'm not lumbering you with a huge task, but I'm a bit backward in this department.
It looks like you haven't posted for a wee while, so I hope you're well.
Sincerely, Peter
P.S. If it helps my image, I've got a Scottish son-in-law, Iain Lorimer. LOL

Hi Peter,
Go to info at the top of page and scroll down to "How to add sound"
There is a clickable button to let you know where to purchase a sound recorder compatible with Fanstory.
Hope this helps.
No I have not posted any work for some time as my work and my sculptures take up too much time.
I also produce African violets and exotic tropical plants.
It is easier to say this rather than say some of the non vernacular eejits who think their way of poetry is the only way.
Rabbie Burns says' Lang may yer lum reek' I say lang may their bums leek'. Cos all they understand is their own load of S#*^+.
Hope it helps you. Let me know if successful so I can listen to the vernacular of your poetry.
The Auld Yin.

Joe was a very fly character and I did not get on very well with him. Such is life:(

Comment from HankCopeland
There is just something musical about the voice on the recording. Even though it seems like you are writing in a defferent language, I still understand the story. The rhymes were great and the poem has a smooth, comfortable feel. I'm not sure I could ever read it myself that smoothly, but the reading really makes it entertaining. Great work, again.

Comment from rawahymis
What a wunder tale, wee lad!
I suppose no matter where one grew up fifty years ago, life was simple and fun; school was a joy. It's sad that there isn't much fun in life these days; kids always cooped up inside with silly electronics.
Well expressed with witty humour, colourful imagery, and a tinge of nostalgia.
Happy holidays, wee lad!

You certainly started out as a young entrepreneur. And why am I not surprised you started with fish? I enjoyed this look into a slice of your life.

I loved it! Though, I'm not sure I would have understood it if it had not been for your recording! So, that was a great idea! I love the sounds of the scottish words. Very pretty
! You keep on writing how your heart tells you to write, if you don't oeople will be able to tell that your writing has been forced and it won't be the same. Great job!!!
