    Marcus, I can only thank you for this. Hearing you read "The color of mangoes," was an emotional high for me. You gave it a power I didn't know existed there.

    Thank you again.

    it was my pleasure, james. <a target=_blank href="http://blog.marcusspeh.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/The-Color-of-Mangoes-by-James-Lloyd-Davis.mp3">this story</a> is wonderful & everyone should listen to it.

    is so wonderful and deep that it made my throat close up. cheers!

    Choked me up to hear you read it ... and I don't choke so easy. Wonderful, Marcus. I owe you big time.

    Marcus, your vocalization of "The Color of Mangoes" bought a whole new layer of beauty to James's extraordinary prose. Your voice, his words, made me weep.

    Marcus and James, what a great idea! Perhaps you should do more of these collaborations?
    James, you have a splendid voice, you read Marcus and then he reads you etc. Got this idea from Susan's comment. . .
