My wife says my accent changes depending on who I am talking to.

I'm a realtor and I work in the Charlotte market as well as the rural areas around the city. She says when I'm talking to a commercial broker in the city I sound totally different than when I'm talking to the farmer down the street from our home.

I was born and raised here in Charlotte/Mint Hill, so I'm a true southern 'home boy'.

I do have an accent but it isn't as strong as that last post

ILNC, we played this in the car every time we came down here before finally moving. If you can find it to download, it's a really sweet song by Claudia Church.

(Rodney Crowell/Claudia Church)

I remember waking up
Running down a dirt road
Morning dew a shinin', watermelon by the wagon load
Little baby brother and my sisters in the shade
Listening to the crickets and the music that they made
Riding on a tractor with my granpa in the summertime
Cold bologna sandwich, green tomatoes on the garden vine
Billy Joe McMillan was the first boy that I ever knew
he moved to California and it broke my heart in...

North Carolina...your pine trees so tall
Your hills and your valleys, your cool waterfalls
Your Blue Ridge Mountains
Your fields and your streams
Are lost on the back roads that run through my dreams
Of North Carolina...Home in my heart


Moderator cut: Sorry, but we can't allow posting of an entire song!

Wow Ms.Charlotte, that describes how I feel about North Carolina. It is home to me in my heart.

Ms Charlotte that was an outstanding post and true words for our lovely state of NC.

And it's home for me and my husband and brings us smiles every day,
