Hi Wayne,
   
  Raymondville [for the listers, a little town in far south Texas, where I worked as a band director before coming here to Tallinn last summer] was about an hour south of the Armstrong Ranch, where the V.P. had his hunting accident.  I wonder how Dick Cheney would say it?
   
  I guess I should have been more clear on something:  You often hear from student players, "I'll kill-me-a WAB- -bit, kill-me-a WAB- -bit," but the accent is on count one:  "i'll KILL-me-a wab- -bit, KILL-me-a wab- -bit..."
   
  I think the exact wording that Charlie uses is in his method book.  I really should have looked it up before posting, but it's probably been discussed here before.

  Great post, there, George!  

  One caveat:
  

  In Texas, ya gotta use two syllables for kill  (kee-ul).
  

  Also... it would be thus:   kee-ul da wab-bit, kee-ul da wab-bit.
  

  Otherwise, I'm with ya.
  

  (funnin', of course)
  

  

  Being educated myself, I would simply say "kill da wab-bit".
  

  :-)
  Grins,
  Wayne

      I guess Charlie Vernon does the same thing when, on his Elmer Fudd Ride, he's thinking "KILL-me-a wab-bit, KILL me a wab-bit."
