Queen Byrne’s Fiddy-cents-worth
Byrne changed her name from Bernice (so not her) to Byrne back when she began dancing. But the spelling confounded casual acquaintances for the next sixty years. So I love this little rhyme she wrote up in her journal. Add your own scratching and feedback thumps as you sing along:
Most folks learn
To call me Byrne
– It doesn’t take much tryin’
But to spell it Bryne
On list or sign
Makes me feel like cry’n’
Who knew? Byrne was a dancer and a rapper.
