In loving, living memory, John Melançon 1928 – 2007
place I had in upstate New York, [Schenectady (pr. Skenektaty)]
the Weavers played there
the next day they're on national television
a show
host said 'you like to sing'
she said 'Yeah, we were just playing in a little place in upstate New York'I kept waiting for her to name the place!
...
I remember ages ago a Quaker girlfriend taking me on a train up there to visit her brother
told me this joke about a person making a collect call to Schenectady.
Operator asks him to spell it.
He starts, and tries again, and then says: "Make it Troy."

We purposly use names that would be hard to pronounce...like Tioughnioga or Skaneateles :-)
