Thread Name: Lyr Add: Some Carter Family songs.
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Some Carter Family songs.
Mark: Thanks for the tip about the air/hour mistake. You're probably right; "air" makes more sense. I can usually understand the Carters. Their accent is pretty close to the way my father spoke. He grew up in western Kentucky. But I've lived in Minnesota all my adult life and I never hear that accent now.

By the way, while transcribing these songs, it was a great help to be able play the music CD on my computer's CD-ROM drive. It's easy, when you don't understand something, to back up a little and replay it. I recommend this technique.

Now, how do we get that correction to Joe Offer?
