Joe Offer	why do some sing in usa accent (64* d)	RE: why do some sing in usa accent	09 Nov 18
Anne, I like your idea of "ballad English" - I take it you mean that you sing a Scottish ballad so that it sounds Scottish, but in a way that we mere mortals can actually understand it. I'm thinking that's what Ewan MacColl and Dick van Dyke were trying to achieve - not a perfect accent, but an imitation that at least conveys the feeling that this is Scottish, or Cockney, or whatever. -Joe-
