Makes me think of CCR – John Fogarty was from…what? Berkeley California? His Cajun southern accent was all for show. And that’s just off the top of my head. I don’t think it’s limited to the Boston area!
Of course, that said, I did sing a couple of songs for St. Paddie’s Day, and there was some Gaelic in one of them, so I tried my best to make sure that pronunciation, including the accent, was appropriate, but I like to think that was done more out of trying to honour the songs and my heritage. Oh, and I’m not in a band, I don’t get paid to sing, and it was just in honour of the holiday, not something I do all the time. So I try to limit my hypocrisy, right?
