| We have recorded many more SOMOS readings than we have had time to edit and post on this page. If your reading has not been posted yet, it is not because it was not good enough - it is just that we do not have enough volunteers to edit the recording yet. We are always looking for volunteers to help us with editing - if you want to learn call 758-9791. We will continue to post more readings as time permits. |
