Mind you I taught the names of the letters with pre Webster sounds so it ends with zed rather than zee. That man REALLY did a number of spelling & phonetics simply to break ties with Britain in the only way he had control of.
Ray, I have no clue what you are saying.

Recite by sound??
"A" before "a"??

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
