Thanks. Didn't mean to imply three sylables, just that my phonetic skills were lacking to get the proper long-I sound.It was two syllables when I was there decades ago "chi lie" rhyming with some pronunciations of "jai alai"
OK.Now, can we get back to important guitar stuff?
The last words of the first person to drown in it.I, too, hail from MA, right next to Worcester.
How about the real name of Webster Lake? Good luck.
"Lake Chaubunagungamaug"

Oh, here's one, Sandy... In the Bay Area, there's a town called Albany. It's pronounced "al-bunny" not "awl-bunny". I have no idea why. Clearly the Californians are wrong.Newark DE isn't pronounced like Newark NJ, it's "New Ark".
Versailles KY isn't pronounced like Versailles France, it's "Ver Sails".
In both cases, the locals will correct you immediately!
And then there are all the native American names on Long Island.

"You fish on your side, I'll fish on my side, and we'll both fish in the middle," or so I have heard...I, too, hail from MA, right next to Worcester.

There is an Albany, Georgia I've heard pronounced "awl-benny". But not everyone says it that way.Oh, here's one, Sandy... In the Bay Area, there's a town called Albany. It's pronounced "al-bunny" not "awl-bunny". I have no idea why. Clearly the Californians are wrong.
Dang. Busted again. Let's not talk about Davenport. Or Aromas.Oh, here's one, Sandy... In the Bay Area, there's a town called Albany. It's pronounced "al-bunny" not "awl-bunny". I have no idea why. Clearly the Californians are wrong.
Dang. Them injuns was a lot more civilized'n we give 'em credit for. Which one do you think fell out of his canoe first?"You fish on your side, I'll fish on my side, and we'll both fish in the middle," or so I have heard...

I think most of us hailed from our ma's.I, too, hail from MA...
Took 'im a long time to go under.
There is a craft brewer called Wormtown, and their products are quite good.While I might describe the pronunciation of this small town differently...perhaps BRRR-lin...you guys get the idea, just not the same as our @krysh 's capital
Now, having lived in this area for nearly 70 years, I really don't know where this "Woo" stuff for Worcester comes from...that said, the AAA baseball team the city stole from Pawtucket, Rhode Island is refered to as the "Woo-Sox," so apparently I have been embarassingly out of touch...I have heard the city described as Worm-town, and I think there is even a local advertising-paper that uses that moniker...
