Good to see him again. I enjoyed his "Cuckoo's Egg" book and TV special years ago.

After studying Spanish for years and helping out latinos who need help with English I"m always glad I grew up speaking it. Never mind the vowels, figuring out the accented syllable in a word can be an ordeal. For example "democrat" and "advocate" both are accented on the first syllable but "democracy" and "advocacy" have different stressed syllable locations.

Spelling and pronunciation are far less complex in Spanish and it's easy to determine the accented syllable in a word. But they make up for it with the subjunctive tense. And the past preterite vs. past imperfect, I still struggle with those.

All British except for the drummer. But they recorded "Even in The Quietest Moments" in Colorado and "Breakfast In America" in Los Angeles so they bloody well stopped being British in the mid-70s.

i loved my VIC-20, got it in 1983 and spent many late nights programming the hell out of its 3.5 kilobytes of RAM.

And that's why we use sticky bombs, Pvt Ryan.

Some funny lines in this. I had to ask a British friend what he said @4:35, which is the team Scunthorpe United.

On an unrelated audio topic, is anyone familiar with the concept of Out Of Phase Stereo (OOPS)? I discovered it by accident back in the day where i would short out Walkman headphones from constant use and hear only the difference between the left and right channels. So a piano (e.g.) mixed only in the left channel would become prominent and everything else would sound far away. It brought out some interesting effects in some songs and I didn't know it had a name until I found it on the internet. People use it to discover background mutterings in Beatles recordings, among other things.

My father got a Masters degree in Library Science back in the 1950s, I wonder if the computer down at the library could tell me if the degree is still even offered.
