|

You can hear Post-Suez musician Paul McCartney (late of the Beatles and
Wings) pronouncing "sing" as "sing-g" [sINg] in an interview that was
broadcast[ed] today on NPR's _All Things Considered_, which I believe is
archived by way of
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4159012
(at 'Listen'), though I haven't checked the link.

pronouce it like that, starting outside my front door.
I've just bought a fretless bass BTW.

I must live and work in a different North West of England from you.

And from my ILs (30 minutes' drive from you, and living there for 120
years between them now, minus one three-year association with Oxford,
which sometimes knocks corners off accents but didn't here). They both
use that g.

Granted, but for us Americans it's an exotic sound, and yet Paul McCartney
is a very familiar cultural figure.

Maybe so. It's possibly one of those parallel universe things. In
the dimension known as Oldham, Ashton, East Manc, South Lancs it's
very common.

Fair nuff. What's curious is that unlike many megastars Macca's
retained elements of his original scouse rather than going all
Mid-Atlantic.
If you'd told me during the four years I spent pushing folk round
Oldham in wheelchairs, that someone would describe their pron ("I'm
ring-g-ing him later") as exotic... well, I'd go to the top of our
stairs...
It's got round-wound strings and a natural babuka wood body.

But an exotic one nonetheless.
