First of all, I am so impressed by this, I had to say something.

I'm doing a Chaucer course for my degree, and we have to recite for part of it, so I schlepped to my computer to see if I could find help on youtube, and here we are. I was considering doing the first forty lines of this tale,and so this is even more helpful.

Anyway, thank you for posting this, and a side note-I noticed you are subscribed to the Sons of Maxwell, and I was surprised anyone else had heard of them, let alone listened.

I love the Sons of Maxwell. I've only ever heard them electronically, but their Queen of Argyle video is one of the most moving renditions of that song I've ever heard.

Not bad: the gesticulations sometimes help clarify the meaning (although at times this gets a bit out of hand--no pun intended). The reflection of the computer screen in the speaker's glasses annoys.
