Love it! Great accent - both of you.

It sounds Tidewater Virginia to me. Virginians usually don't have the "garden variety" type southern accents you find in TN, or other places. Yes, every southern state has their own accent, but Virginia accents are unique. Its much more distinctive.

Good call, Meade.

I wrote Mr. Vincent (although I should have called him just to hear him talk), and he figures that his accent is a thick version of the Tidewater. Thicker, because he's closer to the eastern shore of Virginia.

Then he writes jokingly, "Of course, people from Richmond and North just consider it a 'country' accent."

Richmonders have their own "Tidewater accent" But like most Southern cities, you just don't hear it from young people.

I have a "Northern Virginia" accent- which is often described as "Southern-Lite". Loudoun County, but so many northerners and midwesterners have moved in, so most people think Northern Virginians sound like Yankees.

Here's a clip of my Richmond Grandmother talking to "Miss Janey"- she was a maid that worked for my family for years, as well as a close friend who just turned 100 this year. Let me know what you think..

Both clips are awesome.

I love his accent. It is so soothing to the ear. Also, I ordered some of Good Earth's peanuts and they are the best I have ever eaten!!!!!!!!!! I must make a trip to Skippers.

Happy to hear you like the peanuts, Sally. Yeah, Good Earth has great stuff. You've gotta make the trip sometime to experience it all in person.
