Britishisms sneaking into American vernacular
Help me with the pronunciation of this word 'BROUGH'. It is the name of a vintage British motorcycle like the ones riden by T. E. Lawrence (..of Arabia). Here, I would say 'Brow", like eyebrow. But I know the Brits call Van Gogh, "Van Goff". So is what I call a Brough really a "Brof"...- Dixon Cannon

Earliest fedora image?
Sure looks like a "fedora" to me! Suffice it to say, it is a fedora looking hat that looks strikingly similar to a hat later called a fedora by those who wear fedora hats on their head like Oscar Wilde is doing in that old photograph of him in a fedora. -dixon cannon- Dixon Cannon

Britishisms sneaking into American vernacular
I was first introduced to the music of Ian Anderson and his various configurations of 'Jethro Tull, back in about 1971 or so. In listening to his lyrics (Aqualung LP) is the best example, there are little colloquialisms that are thrown in that make no sense to a yank. I went to London for the...- Dixon Cannon

Britishisms sneaking into American vernacular
I think I mentioned earlier that I actually have a English/British (Sorry mates! "British/American"!) dictionary. The first change that I noticed was regarding what a set of drums is called. I started playing back in mid-'66 and all yanks refered to that collection of tubs as a "drum set"...- Dixon Cannon

GM FM2 Wildcat For Sale
Also, regarding question of .50 cals are being sold with the aircraft up for grabs. I would doubt that it has anything in the access bays. I talked to a 'Mustang' pilot once who told me with the price of fuel he didn't need to be toting around six dead weights in the wings that no one was...- Dixon Cannon

GM FM2 Wildcat For Sale

I didn't want to make an assumption that that too was a gun access, being so far outboard and separate from the others. -dixon cannon P.S.
