<br>since she's not on ADS-L. But it would be interesting to have responses on
<br>ADS-L too.

<br> I am a founding member of The Living Theatre Company in Chicago.  In May we
<br>will
<br> mount the Chicago premeir of The Love Talker, a one-act that takes place in
<br>the
<br> Clinch Mountains, Virginia.  We want very much to be authentic in our speech
<br>patterns
<br> and dialects.  If you could provide any information or offer suggestions of
<br>where
<br> we might find assistance in learning an Appalachian dialect it would be
<br>greatly
<br> appreciated.  Thank you so much for your time and help.
