Aaron@LaChasseuse I never in my life expected to hear the accent of my homeland used so eloquently! Usually it's just stuff like, "Billy Bob! Git down from thur afore I kick yer asssss!"
@hosford42 So true! But it may be closer to how Shakespeare's English sounded than modern English is!
My favourite bit rhythmically, in terms of his recitation, is the way he glides up on "you day-anced ⤴️ , now pay".
Music!
@LaChasseuse We are very good at turning monosyllabic words into polysyllabic ones, and vice versa. :D
@hosford42 Indeed! I saw Kinky Friedman once in concert, and he and 'Little Jewford' were laughing about how many syllables a Texan could inject into the word "Jee-iu-yiouuu" whilst at the same time pronouncing "Jewish" as a swift monosyllable "Joooosh".
RIP, Kinky.
RIP, Kinky.
