<p>I'm definitely picking up a New England flavor. Compare with the more modern "Bert and I" records by Marshall Dodge & company, which feature particularly dry yankee humor with pretty good downeast Maine accents: <br/><br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIJBUZm1HoY" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIJBUZm1HoY</a><br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Jn61NUd0q8" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Jn61NUd0q8</a></p>

<p>Hi Paul,</p>
<p>Please check out your iPad again as the audio players "should" play.</p>
<p>Apple iPads don't support "Flash" so my son had to write code to fool them into playing the files! I hope that they now work OK for you.</p>

<p>Yeah, you're right, Marc. There are still pockets of strange speech here and in the UK. I remember a "conversation" on a bus in South Yorkshire with an old coal miner. I understood one word in 10. The most impenetrable accent (for me) in the USA is found in both towns and countryside in parts of southern Ohio. So many vowels and consonants are something other than anywhere else. K becomes G. E becomes OR and the pace is slow and the ups and downs are musical but what are they saying? I can't…</p>

Riverside County, California has a unique accent where 3 syllables become one and vowel substitution deviates from the rest of southern California. <br/> <br/> <cite>Trapdoor2 said:</cite></p>
