Only an amateur one; my church is putting on a production\* of _Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat_; I’m only familiar with the songs that became popular from the musical, so I didn’t know that the part of Reuben (that I accepted the invitation to take up) involves singing one solo with a fake country-and-western accent and another with a fake French accent.

Interesting times ahead.

\*they are usually very good.

Shit, what if you mangle the Western and the French accent?

Sacre bleu, y’all!
