Giac	Is that really you? (64* d)	RE: Is that really you?	14 Jun 03
Lordy, I can't think of anyone who would think old Hank was from New York! It's easier for those familiar with United States accents to discern locale from hearing a voice, as I'm sure it's far easier for someone from Great Britain to recognize region from accents there. I would think this applies to long-time residents of most countries, or regions. But, I think many singers use the pronunciations that they hear, so that songs they learn may have the feel of the accent of those from whom they learn. Perhaps it tends to homogenize languages a bit, but at least the songs are carried on. Mary
