Y'all remember when I talked about Senator Webb's* book, Born Fighting?
Anyhow, if not, here's the short version - loved it at first blush, started to cool a little as I dug more. But I'd say it's still a fair decent introduction, if a little heavy on the romance.
Butsoanyhow, via Mark Thompspon from over Ulster way - they'll soon be airing a video version of it. How cool is that?
Thanks for the heads up, sir!
(Also, check out his Covenanter material - awesome work!)
* Senator, you may be distant kin, but don't think I exempt you from that tirade last week. Until and unless I see you shaking loose all the goodies your "august body" has stolen from the American people, you're just a bought man to my eye. And frankly, one who should know better.

One of the 'weird' talents passed down in my family is the ability to switch dialects & accents at will, and to match that of the speaker upon hearing that speech.
My aunt found that invaluable when operating a roadside produce stand in southwestern Missouri - she'd switch from "Would you like some?" to "Would y'all care for some?" to "You best get-chas some." at the drop of a drawl.
I did the same thing while in the Navy - sent my mom a cassette ('twas a while ago) of me doing a dialectical travelogue around & across the U.S., using accents I'd picked up via sailors from all over.
Sorry for the ramble, but ... yup, they's gonna be in trouble if'n they come 'round here.
