For what it's worth, a lot of West Virginians make their way to DC (strip clubs are full of them) and I've spent a whole week in Harlan County.  I couldn't pick any difference between the two accents.

I'd be interested to hear more about this spectrum of southern accents. I don't suppose you mean to say he sounds like he's from East Tennessee?

I really don't know. Maybe he sounds a bit appalachian?
I'd agree with that.  Contrary to popular belief Ide is easy enough to understand, but it's clearly a Southern accent.  Lettuce, I haven't heard enough East Tennesseans speak to be able to compare Ide to them, but I mean he doesn't sound like Dolly Parton or anything. :D

Huh. Lots of that in the Okie side of the family. But then the family is originally from the Appalachia part of Ohio and West Virginia. This is pretty much how my Grandfather said his father talked and he was born in Gallia County Ohio.

I don't know what my accent is.  People around here don't think I'm from here.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I wish Manitoba had some kind of hillbilly accent.  I'd totally play that up.   :alberta:

After 16 years here, seems I use a few southern words with their proper southern accent and throws people off. Y'all.

We can think of you as a hillbilly without the accent, if you like.  ;)

When I have the energy, I like to return to my birthplace with the accent of The Valley.

Joking aside, is their a male version of Valleyspeak?

I always picture BB posting while using his curling broom in a Mounties uniform.
