Hum, yes and the accent of those in Texas are differtent than
those in Alabama, but they are all called southern.

East Texas or west Texas, there is a difference, but heh, grew
up in Oil, so. heard alot of Texas/Lousinna/Arkansas and Okie
accents.

But do not get me near someone from Alabama, cause you will not
be able to understand me when I get done, for a few minutes.

Boomhourer, here I COME!
