Yeah, lose the music.

You could take some voice coaching for the sound.

Elocution is fine, just your... rhythm.

Thanks for posting.

Cheers.

Indeed great reading. Interesting is how carefully Maraniss researched the chapter about the combined German team. I can only recommend his book.

I notice that the author also wrote a book about a childhood sports hero of mine, Roberto Clemente, that I'll have to read. I was lucky enough to see two of the all-time greats play in person up in San francisco... Willie Mays and Roberto Clemente. The book he wrote about Clemente is entitled 'Clemente: The Passion And Grace Of Baseball's Last Hero.'

If you read this message David, congratulations on writing this outstanding book on the 1960 Olympics and thanks for a great read.

@kirkwell

I'd like to read that Clemente book, having seen him bounce numerous line drives off the right field wall at Connie Mack Stadium..

Just finished the book 'Rome 1960 :The Olympics That Changed The World' and highly recommend it. The detail and amount of research the author, David Maraniss, must have done to write it is mind-boggling. This was the first Olympics that registered in my consciousness (being born in 1950). Plus I grew up not far from Kingsburg, the home of Rafer Johnson, so I remember the battle he had with C.K. Yang for the gold in the decathlon because it was heavily covered in our local media.
