Dr. Rat Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Heard over the last couple of weeks. "A great trumpet solo by Joe "Fathead" Newman", yes really...." "Blue Serge, a great recording by Serge Karloff" Alternatively, they could neglect any artists whose names they were uncertain of. I manage about two dozen local volunteers who present jazz at this station--and let me tell you, such mistakes are a daily occurance here. I don't think it really matters that much. I've even got caught out myself on more than one occasion. One complainee (about my stupid habit of saying Rashan instead of Rahsan (I've reformed, btw)) ended up getting drafted into presenting himself. Now he gets to mispronounce all those world music artists. Nyah nyah! And, unfortunately, I haven't found a pronunciation guide that really helps matters, either. When I hear Serge on the radio I say "thank you." What the presenter makes of that Ch . . . that's all part of the adventure. One day, in heaven perhaps, we'll get it all straight. --eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
