Re: Kathleen
in reply to a message by safety pin
yuck... no... Kathleena wouldn't sound quite right... Kathleen sounds solid as it is. Needs the h to flow right too.
Haven't known so many Kathleens... maybe 1 organ player in her 40s or 50s or so, but otherwise, 1 was a classmate in school in the 80s and 1's a younger girl that most address as Katie. (seems a waste to shoten a solid and pleasant name like Kathleen to Katie when it's no faster to say) Otherwise, it's a classic that need not be butchered or fiddled w/ to make it trendy.
Besides... The question was about what a person would pair it w/ for combos rather than how to disect and re-construct it.
