I used to love Floyd. Had all their albums, even Atom Heart Mother. Piper was one of my favs… loved Echoes too… Worked at Catalina Island and me and my friend used to freak everyone out in the cabins playing it super loud. A million bright ambassadors of morning to you sir!
i feel so sad for people that has stopped using their imagination as they grew older. Thank you Tony for all your hard work and effort, you have no idea just how much you elevate my lifestyle and experience. Thanks again
It’d be hard to grow up, and use imagination these days, what with all the insipid media, cell phones, video games, virtual reality, the web, etc. (plus probably far less reading, with all the audiobooks available), unless your Folks made you go and “play” outside. Which I and my fiancé have absolutely decided would be the rules of the road. Plus no cell phones, for as long as possible. Flip phones maybe. Thinking of switching myself. Cheers
I think it’s the young people who seem to have no imagination. They are so used to having everything supplied, they don’t need to picture anything in their minds. It’s terribly sad really, I used to love living in the worlds my imagination built, so complex and detailed, literally all I could dream of!
@@StalinLovsMsmZioglowfagz Yeah you’re right. I remember building forts and you had to know the password to get in. I don’t know who we thought was trying to get in, but it made it much more exciting.
@@jennifermcdonald5432 Great point. I made mine with my cousin, Marianne, I thought she was “pretty cool, for a girl”, haha. I have zero idea what the hell we were defending from with the massive (to us at least) constructions of wood and branches. Thats funny, I actually got a memory of it from just you saying “passwords”, and it was HUGE, in my memory. Reckon they don’t adjust for growth too well, how funny. Cheers, Jennifer ;) X)
How wonderful is a child's power of imagination, though the writer was not a child when he wrote the story. Really enjoyed the reading,the performance and the lovely rendition. You are so talented Tony Walker. Look forward to the next one. Many thanks.
My eyes popped out on stalks (just like in an actual cartoon!) when I saw that one of your latest offerings was an absolute long-time favourite of mine. I first came across it in the early 70s when we 'did' it at school and it's kept me spellbound ever since. So a massive thank you. Hopefully you'll carry on doing these classic children's stories - I would vote for the Uncle stories, Joan Aiken's short sories, Narnia (of course!), E. Nesbit's children's stories, and Alan Garner! I'm getting over-excited now - I need to get a cup of tea and take a deep breath.
Was this the whole story? I ask because it sounds as if you remember if there is more. I didn't have the opportunity to read this as a child or have it read to me. I'm in the states, so these weren't regular fare although I read a lot of the Just So Stories. Tony read this so well. I was spellbound! This is a link to the novel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Midnight_Folk so it looks like it's longer than this recording, although I could be wrong. Thanks for your input!
@@sugarfalls1 No, this only takes us part of the way through Kay's adventure. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed it won't be too long before Tony downloads the rest of it. And then there's the second book A Box of Delights to look forward to it, which in my humble opinion is even better!
Late comment but "Thanks ". As always. I really loved this one; a real change of pace, and thoroughly enjoyable. Missed your ramble, but you do have your life outside YT, and we are spoiled with your constant work and thought put into it. 👍🏼
Thank you Tony…again! A great story and your reading of it with your expansive voicing of the various characters. You are a marvellous narrator that I very much enjoy. Thanks again!
Thanks Tony. & Toad UK... Mr Toad... Like it. The low raspy voice is Creepy. Santa Barbra is plush. Like to see it before the trappers and gold diggers. An eden, probably.
Oh this was great, thanks Tony a fantastic rendition and worth the wait. So much more to come from Nibs (my cat is called Nibbins) and rollicom bitem light foot and the Pouncer seven. Perfect fit for the time of year and will delight anyone who hasn’t heard of it yet. I did when I read this to my kids Ellen just like your voice a generic West Country drawl. Final thought was that I like Kay really hated learning my Latin verbs and Acer was a stinker.
What a wonderful, magical story. I've never come across it before and absolutely loved your reading of it. Can't wait for the next chapter. Perfect for the darker evenings. :)
So excited for your stories approaching Halloween! When the veil is thinned and "Stingy Jack" roams about. Maybe a story about him? Even though I am not Irish, (Newfoundlander) :)
"Satter-daaay is Batter-daaaay" ~ lol!! Brilliant! Loved your reading of this and I've never read this! Quick, to the Library, Thank you, oh Talented One. Thanks to Toad UK as well, a perfectly magical story for approaching Autumn. 😊
If you like this kind of thing, listen to Piper At The Gates of Dawn th-cam.com/video/8qZTuH9DHMM/w-d-xo.html
thanks...already did my dear.

@@StalinLovsMsmZioglowfagz I much prefer early Floyd. Up until probably Wish You Were Here

@@jennifermcdonald5432 building forts in the woods like we did, is not something you see anymore. I can’t even imagine.

A classic indeed 👍
Enchanting. Very enjoyable presentation with your vivid ,imaginative voices. Much needed just now. Thank you, Tony.
That Spooky time of year is fast approaching us again. Now is the perfect time for these stories that you bestow upon us!
Whimsical❤❤
Delightful. As an owl and witch I enjoy this story so much. More Midnight Folk, please.
Thank you dear Tony 🌳
The only person on you tube I can listen to reading books. Thank you.
+Kathleen Smith thanks. Very nice and I do appreciate it . There are some good voices out there

Yessssssssssss brilliant ❤ thanks
We heard this on BBC Children's Hour on the wireless post War. along with The Box of Delights. I finally got a copies of the books a few years ago.
I really enjoyed this looking forward to chapter 2.
I felt like a child again tucked in bed listening to this lovely story.
I am so happy to hear your voice. Narration is your game. No doubt about it.
Thanks v much :)
I’m really enjoying this. Please continue with the story, Tony!
Also, singing in character? Masterfully done!
+Tokatulu G I can’t sing out of character :)

Exactly what the doctor ordered! Tons of gratitude and blessing’s 🇬🇧🌹🇬🇧
It's a very sweet story.

Did you hear my late night radio ? This story is part of that so there rambles a plenty. But this story actually cost me subscribers. Weird

My 2nd hand phone won't even load Spotify.
Thanks for the YT posts though.
🙏🏼👍🏼
Oh! Thank you!
Love John Masefield! Thank you 😊

Most enjoyable, friend. I look forward to future installments. : ) Thanks very much!
More to come!
Ohhh love this channel

Ooooooh, delightful!
You are hard working! I just finished Carmilla not too long ago.
What a wonderful, magical story. I've never come across it before and absolutely loved your reading of it. Can't wait for the next chapter. Perfect for the darker evenings. :)
Hoping to do it Friday
You get better and better Tony - really enjoyed this performance 👌
Thanks Aine. These ones are fun because I can be the characters
This is lovely! As always, thank you Tony.
Oh I love this!! I’m excited to hear the rest.
So excited for your stories approaching Halloween! When the veil is thinned and "Stingy Jack" roams about. Maybe a story about him? Even though I am not Irish, (Newfoundlander) :)
Weirdly i was listening to Newfoundland accent
Videos on TH-cam about a month back. They sound great if not totally North American
When's chapter 2 coming? I love this book.
Hopefully this week
But it has the most dislikes per view of any of my recent videos so I guess it’s marmite
@@ClassicGhost Not at all! It's absolutely darling. My 2 cats and I are all enjoying it right now!
Omg and I missed it ! I asked for this I think, maybe others did as well but to have missed it makes me so sad, hope you reupload it.
The midnight folk should be there as latest upload. Carmilla is too
@@ClassicGhost great it is now
"Satter-daaay is Batter-daaaay" ~ lol!! Brilliant! Loved your reading of this and I've never read this! Quick, to the Library, Thank you, oh Talented One. Thanks to Toad UK as well, a perfectly magical story for approaching Autumn. 😊
It's a lovely story. I hope to do more chapters.
Thank you, such a treat!
Your sound was ok? I just tried mine and it was fine
@@ClassicGhost sound was great
Hmm.. I am absolutely certain that raisins do not cause "stoppage". From my personal experiences, kinda the opposite.
I ❤the flying 🦇💋
I do miss the old intro...
It's not gone away forever. I thought it wasn't necessarily suited to this story. But...?
Why do I not have any sound? It's fine on all other videos...
I am experiencing the same thing.
Same here
Me too so tried 3 times then it came on
Ive got sound
Just tried again. It begins im with the owl hoot
100
Sorry, I haven't felt up to Dracula. I'm only good for short stories.
That's fine, Susan. Dracula is very forgiving.
No sound
I have sound
Amazing performance- you are so gifted! Thank you for all the great content! ❤
Glad you enjoy it!
