To  Firecharger:  from Suzi
"First, let me tell you that I love your videos!

Second, I want to apologize to you and everyone who has a 'Southern Accent'. I'm from California, and I admit it, I'm an 'accent snob'! For whatever reason, I associate 'accents' with intelligence or other factors. British accents can sound 'refined' or 'snooty'. An Irish or Scottish accent gives me a 'festive' feeling. *silly, I know*. But, I have a negative aspect of this trait, I always think 'slow' or 'ignorant' when I hear that slow, Southern drawl. Yes, I am an accent snob. I admit it. *hangs head in shame*"   Suzi

Hello Suzi, I might be wrong about this but I believe the Firecharger is from Ohio. Maybe Southern Ohio...LOL. But his accent doesn't sound southern at all to me. All across mid-America you have a slower talking, enuciating people. We just aren't in a big hurry to get said what we need or want to say. I like his youtube productions too.  Larry
