A Southerner talks music.

At least it is music to me, but then I was born in the South.

The educated Southerner has no use for an r, except at the beginning of a word.

He says 'honah,' and 'dinnah,' and 'Gove'nuh,' and 'befo' the waw,' and so on.

The words may lack charm to the eye, in print, but they have it to the ear.
