Hi, I'm Eric. My job is to make sure Project Gutenberg lasts another 55 years. I love it when Clarence starts singing "Ho Ho Ho Ho" in the last verse of Bruce Springsteen's "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town". Would you like to introduce yourself with a small song moment you like?

Hi! My name is Tim, and I’m a writer and editor in Philadelphia. I like how Bootsy Collins says “watch out!” in between verses of Deee-Lite’s “Groove Is In The Heart.” Everything Bootsy sings/says on that song is perfect. Would you like to introduce yourself with a small song moment you like?
