 | Harper and Sean are working together on an album to be released in September. Actually, this isn´t news if you´ve visited Harper´s myspace site.

| You beat me to it Bonnie...lol So as you can tell, I too spotted that. But it´s Sean´s album and Harper has done some work on it.
Here´s some slightly older news from the 12th about it.

The news on Harpers MySpace spot is an album Harper is working on himself. Even Edie has made a contribution. According to Harpers page he is yet to find a recording contract. |

| Micky,
An article in a Dallas paper recently said, "Concord/Fantasy execs liked what they heard, and in addition to putting out the (New Bohemian´s) disc, the label will release a CD by Ms. Brickell and Harper Simon next year.

| Well, if you really want an answer: the comment about Harper´s "mum." In the U.S., it´s typically "mom." On occasion, it´s "mother" or "mommy," for the younger folks, but "mum" is a term I associate with the UK. |

 | The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is made up of 4 distinct countries or principalities. Each country has its own distint accent (and/or language) and within each country, particularly England, there are massive variations in accent and dialect. To such an extent people living just 200 miles apart can have trouble understanding each other.
The concept of a British accent is therefore, quite alien... sorry to go off on one! |

| Friends, friends, friends...
My comment was not meant to offend. My apologies if I did. Blame it on an error of my head, not my heart. I wasn´t referring so much to a verbal accent as to an "expressive" one, if that makes sense. I was simply struck by the use of the word "mum" in relation to a maternal person. I know people in South Africa who use the word in the same context and I still associate it with British heritage. But, again, I mean no offense. Perhaps I´ll stop trying to explain and not bury myself too deep in my "stupid American accent" (no offense to my American sisters and brothers either, of course). Banging myself on my head now, just to beat everyone else to the punch. |

 | But for the rest of the world, there clearly exists a british accent Matthew.
If you live anywhere else then you can easely say that this person comes from the UK, and the other one from the USA. But I am not sure if the word accent is the right one in that case. I am sure that the Scottish, Wales and Northern Ireland people speak a total different ´english´ (or not even english in the case of Wales people), but the majority of people has a typical UK english (while the USA have their typical american english with all it´s differences from north to south and west to east, but for a non-native speaker it is just american-english) |

| Paul says Mum and my close friend, who´s American, Chrissie says mum. So that kind of confuses me. In fact I know a few Americans who say Mum.

| Actually Bodo, it´s not as simple as Scots, Welsh and Irish. When people think of British, they usualy think of the London accent. Now I´d don´t have much of an accent because I spent my childhood moving around and the Yorkshire dialect (which is the correct term micky...lol) can be very broad. And the words they use will be completely different to that of those in Lancashire, or London bouroughs. Although I don´t know most of them because I´ve never picked them up. My dialect is very neutral and can be mistken for being rather posh...lol
In Yorkshire, for instance they rarely say water, no they use the word wazz...I personally find that hard to say.
When Matthew spoke of even Brits not understanding one another, it had little to do with the Scots, etc. I´m from Yorkshire, and I can´t understand someone, if they speak normally, from Newcastle or Wolverhampton. The way they speak, which can be very fast, and they´re use of words are very different to those in Yorkshire. And so they may as well be speaking Dutch. The same can be said in Yorkshire. Each region as it´s own way of speaking. If you come from Barnsley, you´ll speak different from someone in Sheffield. The Barsnley dialect is very broad Yorkshire and I find it hard to tune my ears into it and understand it, and they are only about 40 miles from where I am.
So no, there is no such thing as an English accent/dialect. There´s the Londen ones, cockney and upper crust, as some would say. But it´s far bigger than that....lol
I´ll stop now...
oh Bonnie...Don´t bang your head hon, it´ll hurt....and yes it is me in the hat :-) I can hide no longer...lol |
