Hear Carl

 

Click above to hear Jo's husband, Carl, singing "Softly As I Leave You"

 

And now he's got another song, "Gold", up on YouTube

He had surgery for thyroid cancer that took his voice for a long time as

the surgeon had to scrape his vocal chords and no one knew if

he would ever sing again.

JO'S NEW PROJECT

For some years the exposure on a lot of the pictures from the movies

has bothered me and now I'm (trying) to do something about it.

EXAMPLE WITH JEFF:

 

REDOING THE CLOSE-UP ALBUMS

INDEX HERE

This is a huge project as there are SO many pictures, so check back to see which

albums have newly gone up. I'll pin this right here in this spot so you

can find it easily. I've done Zack first because with his Z he usually

gets done last.

 

*CHARACTERS WITH FINISHED ALBUMS:*

(This is the order in which I'm doing them, not the order they

are on their index page. The most recently done will always

be at the end of this list here.)

COLIN, EAST, HANDO, ED, JEFFREY, KIM, DOM, CORBETT,

By Jo

Having edited or gotten up so many Maximus stories in the last few days,

This story is set five weeks before the opening battle in Gladiator

and is complete in one chapter.

Russell's characters have come to live, to work, to love and to

inter-relate. You'll find stories there by many of the Libriscrowe

authors as well as some you may not have met yet.

And a Cort storyline there, too.
