En voor wie zich afvraagt waar die brave mens precies op over yonder wil wanderen:

cay·use, n. Pacific Northwest. (kaI”ju;s) Also †kiyuse, †skyuse. [Said to be from the language of the Chinook Indians of Oregon.]

En mag ik zeggen dat mijn favoriete versie die van David Byrne is, met iets wat verdacht op de Gilles van Binche lijkt op slagwerk?
