Charles Darwin/Zoom

 Well, it was all a bit confusing with the Zoom. I accessed the meeting on my Mac, and I could see and hear Marsha Rehms, but she got no sound from me. Why not, we do not know, and we searched for some reason this afternoon after we got back from a long walk, and we could see no solution: in fact we got a couple of messages that suggested that my Mac did not have the capability to transmit sound.

But Joan accessed the Zoom meeting on her phone and I used it to read several passages. I was the only participant in the audition; Marsha e-mailed a couple of other men who were expected to participate, but seemed unable to raise them. I have little doubt that I will be involved in the reading. They seem to have decided that the parts will be, as it were, spread around to even up the contributions that each reader will make: in other words, sometimes I would be Darwin and at other times the Narrator, or one of the few other male voices. 

Rehearsals do not begin until we are back in Washington.
