[Dixielandjazz] FW: pronunciations

[Jim Kashishian]

>But Jim, you should hear the pronounciations of the various towns and
cities in California  with Spanish names used by even Californians.

I know...I'm a native Californian!  You missed what I said about learning
the sound of each letter.  After that, Spanish is easy (except for the
exceptions!) 
   
>I didn't know that "casi" meant "one less".
It doesn't.  It means "almost".
  
>Slainte, Ed Coltrin
That's what we say every night when we open a nice bottle of Rioja.  (My
wife is Irish!)
