Thank you, Dan, for letting me use some of your sound files (from Season One)!
Listen to more audio clips at his Sights and Sounds page, as well as his "Little Men" Jukebox.
One of my brothers kindly helped me set up for recording these and he helped me get the files to work on the internet.  Thanks!
. . . I may have gone a little overboard in recording clips, but it's hard to choose what to record when I like all of an episode. =)

If you want to you use any of these sounds on your web-sites, please contact me first (or Dan for his)!
It took work to record them, and I don't appreciate people who don't think to ask or at least provide a link.

 

More music and sounds to come!
