Man With Worldly Echo Talks Back in Spokane
Ronald Severson a 33 year old lock and safe salesman in Spokane displays a talent he calls a human echo. He says he can talk sing or yodel along with anyone in any language from French to Norwegian and even pig latin. Psychiatrists doubt the gift but Severson believes his extra sharp hearing fuels the trick. He recalls high school assemblies where he sat in the office during speeches and describes how women once found his act amusing yet nerve wracking. He also claims to have helped four intoxicated men return to sobriety and jokes about a drunk accusing a bartender of slipping him a Mickey when he talks along with him.
