[Mark A. Mandel]

I asked:
> How 'bout Mose Allison?


Wilson responded:
>>>
As a black man who sings like a white man? I didn't realize that he was
black, though I have no problem accepting that he is, by virtue of the
one-drop rule.
<<<

'tother way round: as a white man who sings like a black man. Well, that's
to my ear, which is rather tin in that range, or at least much less
inexperienced than yours in the range of southern dialects of all colors.
