And people wonder why we should take foreign languages in school.

Cajun pioneer Leo Soileau's last name was just pronounced "so-LAY" instead
of "swa-LOW," as it should be pronounced, one of many mangled pronunciations
on WKCR's western swing broadcast today.

on the live broadcast. You can do it with Real Player or via MP3 Stream. I'm
using the former and have had it on since I got up this morning. The
announcer is really pretty pathetic. Sounds like a total beginner. There is
really no learning to be done here - a string of maybe 8-10 songs by one
artist are played in a row with minimal back announcing of just tune titles.
No personnel, no instrumentation, not even any intelligent programming. They
just played about a half hour of Jimmie Revard/Modern Mountaineers and are
now playing a string of Washboard Wonders Bluebirds, which are hard to take
played all in a row. I suppose if you want a western swing jukebox, this is
your place, but so far, nothing at all has been said about the music. Makes
me yearn to be back in radio...

by playing strictly music from the '20s and '30s. The music is great but the
announcing is pretty horrible. I turned on the show just now and already
heard halting talk and Jimmie Revard's name mispronounced.
