Re: The latest crime wave

Know what you mean.  This week listened to an interview with a New York
actor who has a part in Tennessee William's "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof".  He
has to project a Mississippi accent.  When asked how he did it, he said
that he "thought redneck".  I have lived in this region most of my life and
married into it...an accent has nothing to do with being a "redneck".   To
me a typical New York stereotype.  I love to tell a story on my beloved New
York brother-in-law.  I once settled an argument between him and my sister
as to whether or not cows laid down.
