It's against Irish law take a break before playing Tir Na Nog by Celtic Women. It is the only non-American song I could hear a million times and not get tired of.
I'm friends with a family from England who have been here over 25 years. 10 kids in the family. The parents have accents but you can tell they've been here awhile. Only the 2 oldest kids have accents. The oldest hasn't lost it a bit. Sounds much more British than her parents.
And that was a compliment! I love a southern accent. My favorite singers are Charlie Daniels and Loretta Lynn. I always wish the Dukes had accents that were more southern sounding but they probably couldn't find enough actors. Sonny is southern but your accent is way better than his. If I ever moved South I'd have an accent in a few days. It's such a natural relaxed way of talking.
