But what? No controversy? Just observation and elaboration? Geeeeezzz! What gives? I never learned the "R" roll very well in HS Spanish class. I waited until the stakes were much higher. I auditioned for the part of Col. Thomas McKean, a rowdy Scotsman in the musical play 1776. They liked my take on him but the only way they'd let me into the play was if I could speak English with a Scottish accent. So I learned that from a tape made for me by John Hancock. Who was actually, a Scotsman playing the British part of John. Anyway, I surprised everyone when two weeks later at the first rehearsal I spoke my lines with the accent. To this day, I still can do a pretty convincing Scottish accent. And a pretty fair pirate as well... Arrrs included! Verrrrrry entertaining, Paul!
