Pecos Bill goes international via radio broadcast

Pecos Bill By Steven Kellogg Illustrated by Laura Robb       An international revival of Pecos Bill is accorded by its inclusion in the Voice of America's Special English series.  The story is at the posting and an audio version is as well.  The comments on the posting come from all over the globe demonstrating the story's continued universal appeal of Edward O'Rielly's 1920's popularization of Bill and Slue-Foot Sue.

Great story you got here. I'd like to read something more about this matter. The only thing I would like to see on that blog is some pics of any gadgets.
