NO FOOD, NO WATER, NO TERLETS.
Is this the origin of that pronunciation i.e. "The World is in the Terlet"? |

Every now and then, my grandparents (Brooklyn-born and raised) would say an "oi" sound as an "er" sound as a joke. |

The Billy Crystal rant made me want to find the show where Tom and Paul F. Tompkins read that Rolling Stone profile of Kid Rock. I used to have it as a podcast but then my computer died. Does anyone remember the date?

Awesome Martin. Thanks. I never knew the nickname for a clarinet was simply "stick."
