I had to laugh at your post as it brought to mind a conversation from several nights ago:

After several beers at a pub, there was a spirited argument at our table between an American and an Irishman both of whom were busy claiming that Loreena McKennitt (sp?) was from their respective countries based on her accent. Both were talking about how they could tell by the way she pronounced certain sounds that she was from their respective countries. Interestingly enough the lone Canadian didn't join the dicussion. What topped it off was when the American's girlfriend (who speaks only Russian) simply stated that the voice was beautiful as well as the music...who cares about her accent.

That was when everyone nodded sagely and looked intently into their beers. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Very good. [img]smile.gif[/img]

...her music AND your story of course
