Covert Twang Operations
This article is kind of a hoot, especially if you've got a friend or two that go running from the room if they hear a pedal steel. Obviously, that's not as big a problem down here in Texas than wherever this poor dude is from - the comments from his compadres are pretty harsh, a veritable caricature of Northern carpetbagger twang bias.
Enjoy!

Oh, I figured as much - just making some assumptions about where his mix tapes are going. Though, admittedly, I know some Texans that would react pretty much the same way - for shame!

I should also add that some of his "starter twang" suggestions - Richard Buckner springs to mind - are a little suspect. Buckner (whom I really like) sends my wife - avowed Jayhawks fan - into peals of revulsion.
