something that even and an "academically-inclined" audience can guess. And
there was a comment on the stage use of accents (I don't remember the

York. The Waverly Consort played around a low table, which seemed to be
square, about 4 feet (more?) on a side, and covered with a handsome carpet.
It was large enough that the center portion, not used for musi

I imagine just about anyone can "do the accent," so that they sound
vaguely like someone else. For the bene

I disagree, and I do so from my experience as an actor who studied

The archives on Wayne's ftp server are simple text files.
With Netscape 4.XX it was possible to pretend they were mail folders and NS would
create an index.
