Hap, I agree with you. There is a very talented singer in the area with many recordings to her credit. She will remain nameless, because I personally like her and wouldn't want to offend her if she should read this. She is known for her interpretations of Irish song. But she sings through her nose in a way that just irritates me no end. Yet, in a session when asked to sing a Hank Williams song, the Irish pretentions disappear and she sings with her native Mid-western American accent.
