Here is another Gullah story. Back in the '60s we hired this Gullah
woman from our farm labor to help out in the house and look after our
two young ones while we worked. She was an excellent cook, and told us
that she worked one time for a man named Capt'n

WOW!! Can you hear that? Some stuff leaks through but that is as
foreign as French. Very nice!! Drilling / seismic-jazz? - that
crosses too many boundaries and water is life.

switches to something you might find a bit more understandable.
I actually picked up a good bit of what she was saying.

You gotta watch out -- some of the baskets sorta look nice to the tourists
but aren't well made like a true artist does ( and there are a few of them
around and their baskets are mighty spendy). My wife
