Phil Jean Bernard is a lyric tenor. He admits it. Outside of being this he is a delineator of negro dialect stories.
In the stories his dialect is there, but the stories are rather tame and contain no real humor. The sweetness of his voice, however, ought to give him quite a standing around on the small time.
