And DON&#39;T be nervous, Marie - you do a great job! The audio was a little soft for me, but I have horrible speakers on my laptop, so that&#39;s probably why.

About your video, I think the volume is very good.<br />Generally speaking, often the volume of the CDs and DVDs is not good: I find it&#39;s always too low. I think there is a permanent technical error during the recordings!! :-)Pietrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18131884567187959415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191732056240004567.post-39169284038538730892009-07-03T18:09:57.768+02:002009-07-03T18:09:57.768+02:00Saw lots of potatoes on my Idaho trip in June.

I thought it was something contracted by the hoi polloi and transmitted to the royalty!<br /><br />It is fascinating how ignorance so often drives our leaders!<br /><br />But why did they think potatoes caused leprosy?Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191732056240004567.post-16082006636544388232009-07-03T17:45:08.155+02:002009-07-03T17:45:08.155+02:00Way to get to a Quebeckers heart - potatoes!
