VERY Familiar with the Uncle Remos Said,

Saw "Song of the South" in Bagio, P.I. 1957

Just re-read some of the tales last week. Joel Chandler Harris....Whoooeeeee! It is quite confining to go from 500 to 2,00- wpm...or even 120...to about 60 wpm reading the original dialect.

I cast my vote in favor - of Tradition American - in ALL of its delightful, and sometimes confusing forms.

Chandler caught a voicing that would have been lost to history, perhaps, as a Scotsman his ear especially keen to nuances - but caught them...he did.

Jim Crow - NO! Wonderful tales and depiction of life's strata YES.

YES!!!

Sincerely,
