They purposely left out the part where he says "best of seventy-threes to you and the XYL, HI HI."
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

Graham was a Scott who emigrated to the United States, which may account for why he sounds like he does on that recording. A native-born American of that era probably wouldn't sound all that much different from a present-day Yank, except it's likely he wouldn't use as much profanity.

Oh yeah, I noticed a Scottish accent quite plainly. Only the way he spoke slowly, clearly and enunciated (probably knowing the poor quality of recordings) it wasn't a heavy burr. I knew a Scot like that only when he lapsed into the Gael we knew it was time to carry him home, he was minutes away from falling off the bar stool. (;->)

Uh uh, speaking proper English he wouldn't use that triply redundant phrase, best of best wishes best wishes nor would he use CW abbreviations in a voice transmission. <razz>
