I did ultimately finish the audio project. I had limited time to record, so I got some bad takes and just edited them as much as I could.
Then I recorded a quick foreword, telling my Gospodzha that I didn't want anything from her but a genuine interest in learning about me.
She didn't make it through the foreword without bursting into tears, waking me up and making me feel terrible. I offered her episode 1, but she never listened.
So that's all there was. I am glad I made it, and I listen to it myself from time to time. It's not the best production, but the music is so integral to it that I can't imagine presenting the information any other way.
I just wish I had a better recording of the scene where Edward Scissorhands says he can't hold her.
