Listen to Likely

Good day, history lovers!

Good heavens, I am buzzing today. I think I am high, readers. HIGH ON HISTORY!

As well as discovering Lord Likely's fantastic journals, I have recently made an ALL-NEW discovery that I think will SHAKE the WORLD of HISTORY to it's very FOUNDATIONS!

Whilst visiting a car boot sale in Lower Spaffton the other day, I chanced upon a booth run by a rather wizened-looking old man, who may or may not have soiled himself. Anyway, he was selling old record players, gramophones and records.

As I flipped through his assortment of vinyl, (featuring the likes of Des O'Connor, Harry Secombe, Cliff Richard and NWA), I suddenly chanced upon something that made me literally gasp in amazement.

It was a very old record, wrapped in a blank sleeve that bore the words 'Lord Likely Recordings (1855)'. Trembling with excitement, I opened it up and seeing that it seemed to be in pretty good condition, I decided to buy it there and then.

It only cost me 25p.

Hurrying home, I dusted down the record player and put the record on.

I was delighted.

There were dozens of short recordings on the record, all done by his lordship himself, including readings from his diaries, poetry and even some music. I almost defecated with sheer joy!

Of course, I could not keep this all to myself, so I transferred the recordings to my PC, cleaned them up as best I could (although they are still a touch crackly and hissy, I must say, but then they ARE 152 years old), and then uploaded them to MySpace.

Now YOU can listen to these wonderful recordings, by clicking below:

I do hope you will be as thrilled by them as I was. If so, keep a Kleenex handy.

Enjoy!

Face the Lord

Good day,history lovers!

As well as having his own MySpace profile, Lord Likely has now deemed Facebook worthy of his regal self, and has now joined up.

Go here to see his profile, and feel free to add him as your friend, to get all the latest Likely news and maybe just to have a nice chat with him, if he thinks you are worth the effort.

Have fun!

Lord Likely: HisSpace

In the ongoing quest to promote the extraordinary journals of Lord Likely to the world wide web, I have taken the liberty of setting up Lord Likely with his very own MySpace page.

I do not pretend to understand the ins and outs of this particular networking tool, which is home to a bewildering array of youths with unsightly piercings and hairstyles that are, quite frankly, intimidating. But I am led to believe it is highly popular, and a useful tool for reaching out and touching thousands of potential would-be history lovers.

The MySpace page will also feature exclusive blog entries, and also some music by that fine composer, Edward Elgar.

Please take a moment, if you are a member, to make his Lordship your friend. He will reciprocate, if you are deemed worthy enough.

Thank you.

- Julian Syngen-Smythe.
