We all love and appreciate you company and I would like to thank you for helping me get through the bereavement of my dad….. I love the rain noise it reminds me of Ireland and as you know I love your voice and you have very good taste….. And you’re a very good actor, nobody can deny that!🌔✨🌔
@@ClassicGhost thank you so much Tony! I still haven’t got to the end of this because I keep falling asleep…. The first decent sleep I’ve had but I love the rain so much I prefer these versions. I am having great pleasure in re-listening to stories as I get older- I’m one of those people who devour the same book or movie countless times till I know all the words! I am looking forward to your recent post chapter 2 of it, once I manage to finish this. I feel like I can’t sleep tonight so this is exactly what I need! Thanks again for the distraction and entertainment!
@mariameere5807 I’m so sorry for your loss.. it’s so hard to lose your Dad. All of mine are gone now so I totally get what you’re going through and it’s one tough “row to hoe.” I hope that time will ease your sorrow and that the many happy memories you have of your Father will soon replace the recent sad ones. Many hugs and Deepest Sympathies♥️♥️♥️
I've lived in 2 haunted houses, neither malignant, and more like a housemate. The last time, the spirit left when the house-owner died in a nursing home. I believe it may have been his wife waiting for him. Bless. I missed her presence when she'd gone 🙏🏼
This is so amazing and even though it is a ghost story, it is somehow comforting. When I woke up sometime later it was still slightly dark outside. It was a weekendp day, soI didn’t have to work. I lay back down and started it back up, right where I left off because I can’t bear to miss a moment. It might take me a few tries, but I will eventually get the whole thing completed. Thank you! thoroughly enjoyable. Oh and also, listening to this in the quiet dim light of morning is just as creepy as listening to it at night. 😬
I was awake at the end. However I had already, & always do, press Like at the start before I settle in to watch even. I am so sure of, and grateful for, your excellent reading. It is a pet peeve of mine that people dont take the time to do so. I just dont understand it. The discrepancy in the number of people who watch any given video & the number of likes it receives often amazes me. Its simply good manners to say thank you, and yet across the board on TH-cam people are thoughtless about pressing those Like buttons. Do better folks!
@@ClassicGhost 😃 Surely nobody dislikes your videos? Its Shocking, but there really are crazy people out there who enjoy being disgracefully bad mannered. On the orher hand whilst researching how TH-cam works I learned that whether people react with a Like or a dislike matters not. The Algorithm just notes interaction & how busy a channel is...therefore even bad attention is good for business on TH-cam! Let them dislike, we like it!! 😆😉😉😘
What a delightful range of voices you have. A lovely tone also. Lovely to listen to. It’s like listening to a whole load of voice actors on an old Radio broadcast. Really great🎉
The house I grew up in till around ten, I would never sleep in the bedroom.. I would wake up through the night, but would try and keep my eyes closed.. For years.. We moved out when I was ten although not for that reason.. But I was told years later..my Mum was told by a neighbour, how a young mum had committed suicide in there..
@Annmarie Ray 😔 she likely had no ill will.. just keeping watch just as she would've done with her own child. Did the neighbor mention what year, or other circumstances?
That's heart breaking, the poor spirit only wanted to be remembered , like all lost souls , some dot even realize they've passed its so sad I've had numerous encounters with spirits since my brother passed but I honestly don't let them put the frighteners on me I try n talk to them ,must admit, it's calmed down recently
I hear each individual character you portray here, and all contribute to such a seamless and engrossing narration. Your talents are apparent and I really appreciate them. Thanks so much ❣
The rain is lovely, Tony. I’ve layered on a crackling fireplace audio in the adjacent alcove for extra homeliness. Humans have huddled away from storms and sat about fires since we lived in caves. Those sounds rejoin us to the collective.
I love your channel and all your offerings. Excellent recordings that I listen to not only at evening, but during the day as well. The tone of voice, quiet yet able to attain the emotions, is perfect. Thank you for doing such an excellent job!
This is perfect for sleep! I listen to every story you upload but it's convenient having multiple stories in one video, plus the rain sounds are soooo relaxing 🙏🏽🙏🏽 thank you!
I have had many experiences, l had to learn to suppress my psychic ability as it got too scary at times, it first began when l was around 9 yrs old l saw a Cavalier in our council house walk through our bathroom wall after walking out of my parents bedroom, he had the expected accoutrements of a Cavalier including a sword at his belt his hat was in his hand he saw me, smiled placed his hat on his long haired head and walked thru the wall that had our bathroom behind it, it wasn't scary he seemed very pleasant I'd say around 30 years old but back then anyone over 25 looked old to me. I told my parents the next day and they both told me it was a dream my dad had no belief whatever in anything supernatural, he was from very stolid stock, left school at 13 to go work and live on a farm over the moors he was very pragmatic, but my mother was interested in the occult and supernatural as l got older l found she was into ouijaboards, and had a monthly subscription to Man Myth & Magic a magazine on all things occult but that was about 5 years after this, we later found out that where our house and next door and a few behind us was built there had been a large farmhouse manor type of building going well back to the 1400s so there very likeley could have had a Cavalier connection the wealthy home owner or a son, though strange he could see me if he was just a projection from the past. I had a few smaller experiences, then aged about 13 my grandad had recently died and one night l was sat there alone as l was staying there for the weekend to keep my gran company, it was around 10pm my gran was down the road at her other daughters and would be back at 10.30pm ish. I was sat in a chair that looked out the main window into the street or would have done but l had recently just pulled the curtains, l was sat quietly there was nothing on tv to interest me it was 1970 only 3 channels and mostly adult stuff after 10pm, l was basically sat with brain in neutral, when l noticed that about 5 feet away from me the light seemed to be coalescing as if thickening and forming a shape about the size of a large person, sound seemed to vanish my granmas 2 cuckoo clocks had loud ticks but l couldnt hear a thing likewise her chirpy budgy couldnt be heard either, now the formating thing in the room got denser it was like a noiseless small tornado of light and 🎉dark, something was definitely forming up, l felt the more l stared the more likely it was going to firm up into a person l just knew it, and l also knew l didn't want to see it for some reason it felt totally wrong that l should see whatever or whoever was about to appear and l shouted " no no l dont want to see" l jumped out of the chair swerved around the shape my back was crawling the skin seemed to be moving about of its own accord my head was prickly and hot l got past it and into the passage then out the front door, l got to the garden gate and held onto it shaking and catching my breath, it was a cold night and the swest l had felt began to cool very fast and l felt freezing cold in a very short time, l didn't know what to do, l didnt want to frighten my gran so had no excuse to go disturb her visit with my aunt but l was getting very cold but there was no way l was going back into the house. After what seemed ages but was likely only 10 mins my gran came back and she asked me what l was doing out in the bitter cold in just my pyjamas, despite myself l told her what had happened, she didnt poo poo me or say I'd probably drifted off and dreamed it she just said almost matter of factly " oh it will just have been your grandad coming to see how you were he would never harm you would he " my grandad had been my most favourite person in the world a big man who suffered from bad diabetes that had killed him despite having both his legs removed in an attempt to save him. I knew my gran was right, but the whole weirdness of the situation the whole wrongness of maybe seeing someone who was dead and buried in the local cemetery just a few hundred yards from my grans village home had really gotten too me it had been too strange too wrong to me at that age l felt it was something l shouldnt see. My mother said the same as my gran the next night when l had gone home and after giving her the letter from my gran telling her what had happened . Again l knew she was right, but there was a part of my mind that kept saying " yes but what if it hadn't been your grandad ?". A few years later well into my late teens and after a few more odd encounters my psychic sense gave me a warning that was eerie beyond anything that had happened before, it involved a wood, a beautiful bright sunny day and a family out for a walk or they seemed like a family, but l am keeping that to myself for the present as it opened up a whole lot of scary events from my teens up to around my 50s, I'm 67 now and about 15 years ago l learned from another psychic person how to shut down the senses as much as possible l had to or else l would most likely have either died of stress or gone nuts. It still breaks thru sometimes if l let my guard down due to tiredness or just because l was very relaxed, and somtimes the prescences are that strong they just make an appearance that l can't stop but thankfully they're very rare now, I'm hoping age has to do with it closing down the part of the brain if it is in the brain as it dries out.
Went to a girls school as a boarder in 1970s to a lovely early 17th C house. Lovely atmosphere excepting the Tower 5th form rooms. Literally had a message one evening. Still think about that warning 40 plus years on.
Honestly most humans are asleep even when awake They seem to do very well. Thanks for excellent collection of professional narrations of classic ghost stories. Ghost seem to keep good company.
@@St.Linguini_of_Pesto they scare me They do recon -tactical psyop works - really I catch them Dog cat baby and prayer , dreams and certainly interesting coincidence all give up their MO and truth about their existence. Even law has terms Summons Manifest Etc
@@St.Linguini_of_Pesto Ps Did you know The Holy Ghost Is called- The Comforter ! It’s true I just read it 10 min ago I remember that too I apologize for shooting the Ghost 👻 Really I kinda forgot about HOLY SINS- Against the Holy Ghost are not forgiven The Bible does not lie I promise not to shoot at the ghosts However- not all are Holy Mine are now , I guess Good day
I myself believe it’s all in the voice. I find Tony’s particularly soothing and do a search for his stuff when I need to relax. I can’t listen to a favourite story if I don’t care for the voice of the person reading it. With severe pain, any noise can cause extreme stress but Tony doesn’t bother me a bit to listen to- except I really do prefer his UK accent to his North American one. Don’t get me wrong Tony, it’s a very good imitation but I prefer your natural speaking voice :) I’ve also found you can train yourself to fall asleep very quickly by listening to a specific/favourite reading repeatedly at “bedtime”. Then you can use it when you’re having trouble sleeping whenever/wherever. Just don’t listen to it where you don’t want to go to sleep! lol
@@ClassicGhost In light of the weather we're having in California, how about Ghost Stories for a Dark and Stormy Night? You could add virtually any story in that theme. Whatever you do, I'm sure it will be great.
Hi Tony- I fall asleep VERY FAST AND GO INTO A DEEP SLEEP, my problem is waking at the wrong time, an upside down circadian cycle- I pity those who work the night shift- I read up on various sleep stages and organs and what happens during...I decided to play these marvelous stories with "rain on the roof" - when I go back to bed in the early hours or the very late hours- ! I know you get what I'm trying to express- you were so kind, putting up with my rambling, "epistolary" like, stream of consciousness, ie violation of BOUNDARIES- my therapist was NOT happy- I can't often tell- a feature of my illness- THANK YOU FOR THESE - I hope the rain works- I am going to try those channels with brain waves - isolated supposedly by some technician to stimulate or relax the brain. Wimm H. is a friend of yours, isn't he? Maybe I should check him out- I've seen him on R. Brand's health channel- Namaste
@Classic Ghost Stories Podcast - Tony Walker I would like to look into that. Do you have a lead I could follow? I am finding it very interesting, I have beautiful dreams listening to Somerset Maughn's "Theatre," pleasant though strange dreams listening to you. Nightmares if I listen to some crime novels, though not if the divine Hugh Fraser is reading.
@@Tinyflypie I remember it from my psychology degree. I think it’s called situation congruent memory. So the examples are given that if you learn something as a deep sea diver you remember better when you’re back as a deep sea diver. It even works when you’re drunk if you learn something when you’re drunk you remember it better when you’re drunk that’s the theory I was referring ti. I can’t think of any links to it now but it’s something like situation congruent memory
Love these- it’s the rain…. Feel like on holiday visiting my mum in Ireland! Rains every day in Clare! I don’t care how many times I listen I can’t get enough! Would love more with your relaxing hypnotic voice and the rain! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Perfect Tony Having only recently discovered your channel these are a boon I have had trouble with sleep for over 20 years and I find listening to audio very helpful, I recently re married and my Poor husband has been driven insane with my audio at bed time fetish, so I now use your renditions with bluetooth head phones so thank you, your voice is very restful. Have you ever considered doing some Walter S Masterman I'd love to have some of his books to sleep to.
Thanks for the story's Toni I been lesioning to your work for a year or two because horrorbabble told me to give your work a shot thankfully I found you this is great stuff
I find the stories too interesting for dozing, but the rain is a nice touch for wakeful listening. Though without the occasional rumble or thunderclap, it sounds a bit like a running shower. 🚿
I have Cumbrian Ghost Stories and I listen to the audio book and follow along every morning. I am going to get the second one and keep doing the same ❤
I absolutely adore your voice characterizations - so lively and animated. One thing - the word "macabre" is pronounced meh COB. The re is silent but you tend to pronounce it meh COB ruh.
Hi Tony, I love all your stories and regularly put them on at bedtime. I now associate your voice with relaxation 😊 Just one small issue - when I have this on at bedtime I have it on quite quietly. Your sentences seem to start in a loud voice and get quieter as the sentence goes on, so it's quite difficult to hear the ends. If I turn it up a little to be able to hear the ends of the sentences, then the beginning of sentences (and any characters talking) is very loud in comparison. I guess this is an absolutely natural way to read, and it is great to listen to, just quite difficult to fall asleep to 😞
I had the same problem. I keep it low so as not to disturb the neighbours and I gave up on this in the end. I was only getting half a story 😁 so I'm listening in the morning now - shouldn't really - got way too much I should be doing!
Wonderful as always! makes the bitter winter here enjoyable, my malamute and I curl up and listen to these cosily scary tales read by that perfect voice!!
well. I have all these stories available without rain, but not in a collection. I am thinking if I have them on their own as singles, as a rain compilation, and then as a non-rain compilation, that might be a bit of overkill. It's not a lot of work to remove the rain, but I think I shouldn't have duplicate compilations, so... But.... I could do compilations on other themes without the rain. But then rain lovers (and there are plenty) will not like those, so I am in a cleft stick. I guess the answer is a poll. That's always the answer.
Oh tony you are trying so many new things in your quest for a self sustaining income from your rather excellent work, so it “twood be churlish” for me to complain. But, I’m not sure length redits of the back catalogue with additions of rain noises is likely to hit the big time, but as my wife always tells me, what do you know ? So it will be interesting to get an update on how the quest fares !
Ahhh Tony! I can’t listen to someone read if I don’t like their voice. Your voice is Perfect! I’m so glad I found you on here. I have migraines constantly and spend a lot of time in a darkened, silent room. I wish I could give you an appreciative hug but although it’s deeply heartfelt this written notice of my gratitude will have to suffice.

As a boy, I lived in a house which was reputed to be "haunted." I never experienced anything "paranormal." Thanks Tony.

Sorry but what do you mean

Me too. Let us know 😂
Seems the msg was not to share her experience with a story teller & his cohorts for if she did, she would be silenced from that moment on!

I typically sleep to these, but the final story in this video had me forcing myself to stay awake to hear it.
every time I see a new story I know I can relax and listen and be engrossed with every word of the story thanks for being my happy place 😎keep it up
Thank you, Tony. This is really great. Perfect for my afternoon break from studying.
Afternoon!!!
Love your voice perfect to fall asleep to after a 12 hour night shift
I used to love my deep sweet sleep after nights xx
I've often wondered what it is about Ghost or Horror stories that make them perfect to fall asleep to. Any ideas?
I myself believe it’s all in the voice. I find Tony’s particularly soothing and do a search for his stuff when I need to relax. I can’t listen to a favourite story if I don’t care for the voice of the person reading it. With severe pain, any noise can cause extreme stress but Tony doesn’t bother me a bit to listen to- except I really do prefer his UK accent to his North American one. Don’t get me wrong Tony, it’s a very good imitation but I prefer your natural speaking voice :) I’ve also found you can train yourself to fall asleep very quickly by listening to a specific/favourite reading repeatedly at “bedtime”. Then you can use it when you’re having trouble sleeping whenever/wherever. Just don’t listen to it where you don’t want to go to sleep! lol
Surreal atmosphere, nightly setups, ponderous descriptions, unreal plots which don't affect our everyday real life emotions like other genres etc
Love the rain sounds at night. Thank you for the chilling and soothing narration sir.
Ooh, I'm loving these three-hour sessions! Perfect for going to sleep. Thanks, Tony!
Any suggestions for other compilations I could do?
@@ClassicGhost In light of the weather we're having in California, how about Ghost Stories for a Dark and Stormy Night? You could add virtually any story in that theme. Whatever you do, I'm sure it will be great.
Thank u Tony ur voice is like liquid gold I drifted off so easily
I’m glad 🙂
As always you breath new life into these classic stories. Wonderful story one of my all time favorites. 👻❤
Many Thanks Tony.
Nite-Nite Everyone 🌜💜🌛

Hi Tony- I fall asleep VERY FAST AND GO INTO A DEEP SLEEP, my problem is waking at the wrong time, an upside down circadian cycle- I pity those who work the night shift- I read up on various sleep stages and organs and what happens during...I decided to play these marvelous stories with "rain on the roof" - when I go back to bed in the early hours or the very late hours- ! I know you get what I'm trying to express- you were so kind, putting up with my rambling, "epistolary" like, stream of consciousness, ie violation of BOUNDARIES- my therapist was NOT happy- I can't often tell- a feature of my illness- THANK YOU FOR THESE - I hope the rain works- I am going to try those channels with brain waves - isolated supposedly by some technician to stimulate or relax the brain. Wimm H. is a friend of yours, isn't he? Maybe I should check him out- I've seen him on R. Brand's health channel-
Namaste
+anonymous anonymous I know a bit about Wim Hoff. Even if you don’t fall asleep I hope I can keep you company. Try this one
The lilt and tone of your voice has been really helping me as a sleep aid lately. Thankyou so much.
+Bronwen Algate You are very welcome
I love falling asleep to your voice. Listening again in the morning often makes me remember dreams.
That’s actually very interesting. There’s a theory about memory that links with that
@Classic Ghost Stories Podcast - Tony Walker I would like to look into that. Do you have a lead I could follow? I am finding it very interesting, I have beautiful dreams listening to Somerset Maughn's "Theatre," pleasant though strange dreams listening to you. Nightmares if I listen to some crime novels, though not if the divine Hugh Fraser is reading.
@@Tinyflypie I remember it from my psychology degree. I think it’s called situation congruent memory. So the examples are given that if you learn something as a deep sea diver you remember better when you’re back as a deep sea diver. It even works when you’re drunk if you learn something when you’re drunk you remember it better when you’re drunk that’s the theory I was referring ti. I can’t think of any links to it now but it’s something like situation congruent memory
@@ClassicGhost that's fascinating. Am going to conduct experiments. I might start with getting drunk and learning Italian. Pass the grappa. Thanks 😊
Great narrator thanks so much the rain sounds are perfect for night time
What a great narrator.
+@Uncle-Jay thank you
I LOVE the rain noise. I listen to these while playing video games. It's very chill.
Thank you, Tony. I adore this.
Thanks for all your suggestions
Love these- it’s the rain…. Feel like on holiday visiting my mum in Ireland! Rains every day in Clare! I don’t care how many times I listen I can’t get enough! Would love more with your relaxing hypnotic voice and the rain!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you for your wonderful voice Tony! So lovely to fall asleep too🙏💕
Just loved this!! What a gem!! Thank you so much!
Thank you, Tony. I Listened all 3 hrs. while I did all the have -to chores in my flat, so long neglected. Masterful, Tony, asd always
This woman leaving her children alone with the Colgates disturbs me to no end.
It’s a safeguarding issue for sure
What happened at the end? It seems as if the story was not finished.
I love the rain effects. Simply excellent.
I am glad you do. I like them too
Wonderful. Thank you
You made Saturday Mail recommendations 😀
Eh what???
@@ClassicGhost the weekend tv and radio part. Recommended ghost stories 👻👻
@@ClassicGhost fame at last!
Totally fantastic as usual. 😊
Thanks for all your lovely stories. ❤
Perfect Tony Having only recently discovered your channel these are a boon I have had trouble with sleep for over 20 years and I find listening to audio very helpful, I recently re married and my Poor husband has been driven insane with my audio at bed time fetish, so I now use your renditions with bluetooth head phones so thank you, your voice is very restful. Have you ever considered doing some Walter S Masterman I'd love to have some of his books to sleep to.
Really enjoyed the empty house, your reading brought it to life..well done! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the story's Toni I been lesioning to your work for a year or two because horrorbabble told me to give your work a shot thankfully I found you this is great stuff
He was really kind to me . I will always appreciate that
What a wonderful reader...sweet dreams
Thank you! 🤗
Dis REALLY Works!!
Hit play and all of a sudden had to go pee. WTH Tony? hahahahahahaha
It’s a thing I can do. Call it a power
@@ClassicGhost OMG you are so awesome!
Diapers. Or a thick blanket, or very absorbent towel. No, not the cat's bed.. he'll slap you around with his cute widdle murder mittens.
@@St.Linguini_of_Pesto Ya'll got me laughing so hard! Off to the bathroom again!
Any plan to do a recording of "All Hallows" by Walter De La Mare? Its one of his bests.
+NerveAMVMaker I have it there in mind but no date yet
I like the rain and the reading---not sleepy right now! lol ~ ~ ~ I've been doing one of my drawings while listening. 😊
I might put a crackling fire sound too 🔥 or do you think that’s overdoing it 🤔
It is nice of you to put this out for others to enjoy.
Thank you! I love you!
lulz.
The last one was my favorite
Thank you, hoping this helps me sleep .really struggling lately.
Hmm. Wouldn't be my choice of sleeping material. I've done Alice in Wonderland if that helps
Just discovered this, this moment. Oh Tony how did you know it was bedtime here, haha! Brilliant, can't wait!😪😴
Excellent for sleeping 😴 thank you
The voice is perfect to soothe away a difficult day.
much appreciated
I am new to your channel yet already love it. You have a good thing going. You are a Great Storey teller. Good on you. ❤ :-)
Thank you 🙏
my full attention. while doing housework. thank you
Hope you don’t drift off

I find the stories too interesting for dozing, but the rain is a nice touch for wakeful listening. Though without the occasional rumble or thunderclap, it sounds a bit like a running shower. 🚿
I was worried it would make people want to go to the loo
I have Cumbrian Ghost Stories and I listen to the audio book and follow along every morning. I am going to get the second one and keep doing the same ❤
Wonderful! thank you 🙏
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Well done. 👻
I love your voice😊
I loved that Last Story 👏👏👏👍👍👍❤️
Loving this channel. !!!
This is the best story
Awesome. The only word
I absolutely adore your voice characterizations - so lively and animated. One thing - the word "macabre" is pronounced meh COB. The re is silent but you tend to pronounce it meh COB ruh.
thank you. I pronounce it with the r indeed. I often pronounce iron with the r as well. I just prefer it.
Thank you. X
Quite charming.
Hi Tony, I love all your stories and regularly put them on at bedtime. I now associate your voice with relaxation 😊 Just one small issue - when I have this on at bedtime I have it on quite quietly. Your sentences seem to start in a loud voice and get quieter as the sentence goes on, so it's quite difficult to hear the ends. If I turn it up a little to be able to hear the ends of the sentences, then the beginning of sentences (and any characters talking) is very loud in comparison. I guess this is an absolutely natural way to read, and it is great to listen to, just quite difficult to fall asleep to 😞
Hmm. I need to turn the compression up
I had the same problem. I keep it low so as not to disturb the neighbours and I gave up on this in the end. I was only getting half a story 😁 so I'm listening in the morning now - shouldn't really - got way too much I should be doing!
Thanks
Thank you 🙏
This is a great video! Like the rain in the background
It sounds like someone typing in the background to me! Love the story and narration.
Wonderful as always! makes the bitter winter here enjoyable, my malamute and I curl up and listen to these cosily scary tales read by that perfect voice!!
Ghost must-of sounded like richard simmons.
You had me at Good evening 😀♥️
Wish you would put together collections like these, without the rain.
well. I have all these stories available without rain, but not in a collection. I am thinking if I have them on their own as singles, as a rain compilation, and then as a non-rain compilation, that might be a bit of overkill. It's not a lot of work to remove the rain, but I think I shouldn't have duplicate compilations, so... But.... I could do compilations on other themes without the rain. But then rain lovers (and there are plenty) will not like those, so I am in a cleft stick. I guess the answer is a poll. That's always the answer.
+Linn Matthews did you see the poll?
When I cast my vote, it was about 2/3rds against without rain.
Trying this to help me sleep 😴 💤
+Lisa-Marie Kennedy did it work?
Wow...yes it did...so I'm gonna listen again tonight lol...thanks for this xxx
Feels like “The Lodgers” isn’t finished??
. ❤ subscribed of course
What a clever idea. Thank you. It also works for destressing
I am going to take a rest from doing these for a while but will probably do a Christmas Stories one
@@ClassicGhost Thank you for telling me in advance, so I can budget a thank you donation. I love your work
@@ClassicGhost love that idea 💡 thank you 🙏
Dang it! I wanted more hoodies, but they aren't on offer :(
+@missdaisysunshine8633 i do t know why. let me look
What's wrong with the sound in The Lodgers?
Not sure. What are you hearing? Is it a spirit?
After a class if wine this video should send me off no problem thank you
That's the aim!
How much wine did you have before you typed, "class if wine?
@Amanda Lee oh, lucky! What school has that class? 😏🍷
@@ninaappelt9001 I'm signing up for that course.. with a minor in vodka. 🍷🍸
@@ninaappelt9001 "thith mannn.. [hic!] many? dinn you get a glash?"
Oh tony you are trying so many new things in your quest for a self sustaining income from your rather excellent work, so it “twood be churlish” for me to complain.
But, I’m not sure length redits of the back catalogue with additions of rain noises is likely to hit the big time, but as my wife always tells me, what do you know ?
So it will be interesting to get an update on how the quest fares !
Well they are he best performing videos in the channel!
