I got most of it. Missed "numma" and "Fodgrag" as "grag" came out in my head as "gag" with an R. If you'd spelled it "graje", I might've got it.

Accents are funny things. My mom used to say I picked up a little bit of wherever I was. For a while it was Texas, and then the UK. I wasn't trying, and I couldn't hear it. Maybe it was more the language than the accent, but she swore it wasn't.

I took an economics course from a guy who was Greek by birth, and he had a pretty thick accent. Another adult student in my class complained that he couldn't understand most of what the teacher said. For the first 15 minutes or so, it was difficult to understand him. After that, I guess I got used to the was he spoke and he was perfectly clear to me. I guess the other student didn't have the same experience.

First time I heard Bob Marley, and he's great--thanks.

I don't know that I'd notice "close the light". I'd think the light was something with a shade, like some lanterns have.
