TY Cobb interview in 1930

[Belfast1933]

I’m sure a linguist could describe the way people talked back then but it had such a “sing-songy” old timey way about it… love it. Reminds me a bit of how my own dad spoke from time to time (he grew up in coastal Maine in the 30’s and 40’s)

Great video - thx for sharing!
