Speaking of which, I just finished reading Larry Guy's "The Daniel Bonade
Workbook" and he (Guy) perpetuates the myth of "Tu" as an articulation
syllable as the pedagogy of Bonade without the necessary clarification that
Bonade (being the proud Frenchman that he was) would have *never* said "Tu"
in the English (or American) way.

Sigh.

A good book, for the most part. I got my copy from Gary at:

An extremely pleasant customer experience.
