Topic: Worrying You Off my Mind

[Laura]

I don't mind my thread being derailed, really!  It's an interesting topic.  I hope someone can find the original thread but if not, feel free to carry it on here.

I thought it was simply a regional accent thing.

Btw my name is O'Muck and never just

How do you edit in this blasted thing?
As I was saying .. Please always O'Muck and never just muck. Its one of the prerogatives of the imaginary.

Sorry, man.
It'll be O'Muck in future. No disrespect intended.

Phil, putting on my imaginary helpdesk hat to answer your question, the software, or 'thing' as we like to call it, refers to 'edit' as 'modify'

LOL!  Nice help desk hat - which reminds me.  Christmas is now over, thank god.  I'll remove the Santa hats, maybe that will put us in a better mood.

No computer on over Christmas holidays, so just found this post and I really like it. Well done, Laura.

Whoa. Best to you and your awesome talent and music, then. Happy holiday!

Hey there Laura,

After listening through it a couple or three times, you're sounding real good. I like the slight rough edge you add to the voice accenting ends of line at the end of the song, sounds like the blues to me. Reminds me of Jo Ann Kelly in some ways.

The guitar licks are consistently great, and the timing is totally solid, as always. Good work, keep going!

[Laura]

Thank you for the kind words PP, Harriet and Rivers!  The "rough edge" was sadly not down to technique but because I was losing my voice

[Mr.OMuck]

I was on the Tapatalk app on the i-phone. I know the Modify function on a regular browser, but thanks. And Laura..Good work again!

Laura, Muck,
There was a discussion about adding an "r" between contiguous vowel sounds somewhere else on one of our fora. Walter Vincson was much given to this practice, as were any number of other singers of that era, although I can't think of any names right now. Presumably, the extra "r" was added as a linking consonant to enhance the scansion and clarity of the singer's delivery, perhaps to avoid an aesthetically displeasing or technically awkward glottal stop between vowels.
Perhaps a good samariweenie will point us to the relevant discussion thread.

Arghhh! Did anyone ever find this thread? I vaguely remember seeing it and meaning to read it and never got around to it. I've searched everywhere to no avail...

I think it's here, Laura. Thank goodness no uses the words 'linking consonant' much in these discussions!

Thanks a lot, Gumbo - just what I was looking for.
