Dick's comment about the pronunciation af "Buford" brings up a somewhat-related question. There are two cities named Beaufort in the Carolinas, but they are pronounced differently and I can never remember which is BOW-furt and which BEW-furt. The one in North Carolina is a nice seaport town near Cape Lookout, home of the fascinating North Carolina Maritime Museum. the one in South Carolina has a beautiful waterfront and fascinating architecture - but I supposed it's best known as gateway to the infamous Parris Island Marine Corps Training Center. They're both nice towns, but which is pronounced how? I got the impression that the may be interesting music to be found around these towns, but I wasn't able to find it.
