And nowadays, it's as Jo says, not singing in an American accent - particularly for folk music - the regional accent is what's desired. We hear only American music on the main radio stations so all the kids want to sound like their heroes naturally. And here in these islands the accents are so diverse and so rich.<br /><br />Filhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027496923235464642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841505878252085938.post-47863481665495958712014-05-28T16:39:54.932+01:002014-05-28T16:39:54.932+01:00WOW, what an awesome and exciting thing for you. ...WOW, what an awesome and exciting thing for you.
