Great, thanks! It should work out.

I will most definitely try to make it! Shouldn't be a problem though. Ent-mania - well now you mention it, I have been kind of doing Ent-related stuff lately (accompanying a friend in a song she composed for the Ent-Entwife-song), so yes, I kind of have something of an Ent-mania and wouldn't mind Treebeard in the least! I'm also fine with other chapters, really.

Don't worry, that's more or less what everybody involved in this does all the time, so kudos for taking the initiative!

The Treebeard chapter would be a nice choice for a rather smallish cast - just a narrator, Merry, Pippin, Treebeard, and Quickbeam if we include the Entmoot; and I already hear us all joining the chorus for the Ents' war chant!
Greenie, what instrument did you accompany that song on? You may have noticed that music is always welcome at these sessions, and music that's actually related to the text would be beyond awesome!

Erm.. the kantele - an old Finnish instrument with thirty+ strings. You might be disappointed to hear though that what I played there was basically just the chords, albeit in a complicated fashion. Not sure if I could make it work so that you could actually hear more of the song than just the chords as they are a bit boring by themselves. I can try to work it out if you want, not sure if it's possible though.

I'm fine with doing a call this or next weekend; just as long as my internet decides to be fast enough for a call, that is. I am also very open to feeding Lauri's Ent-Mania phase. Go Ents!

If we are doing something only next week, then I should be able to participate, too... or at least I think so... so great to see such an interest rising I'm all for ents or even kantele-background ents

Sounds good - even though the call might take quite long, given how quickly ents speak.
