Sorry if the detour is bothering anyone, but I love learning about regional accents - I wish we had a recorded example of everything mentioned above. This brings back memories of one grade school teacher who had distinctly different pronunciations for "merry," "Mary" and "marry," all of which are identical in my part of the world.

I grew up in McMinnville Tennessee and I remember the building it was at from what I was told about it At one time I believe it was a camera store. She was from Winchester originally. I have talked to some of the old timers that knew about the place. I think they were here in the 20s and the store was called Shores. McMinnville was also home to Dottie West. She was my dads cousin but I never got the chance to meet her.
