"Mountain/Valley/Uncle..." Joe's Alvin The Scrooge audio story

Thought you guys might enjoy this.
Kids love it.

Alvin The Scrooge (YouTube)

Here's a link to my famous Alvin The Scrooge audio book. 
I did about 27 different voices. 
It is meant to be listened to with headphones and full concentration. 
It is in stereo and has sound effects and gets better as it goes on. 

It seems a little rushed in spots because 
I was trying to keep the file size low enough to fit on a CD. 
Here's my Dropbox link:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/iw5qdc5rob4omgp/AACWCpLaIo3ej64ffZLsrgWVa?dl=0
It comes in 4 parts (mp3 files) and is about an hour long.
