    “Read it again, Rocky Old top!” (aluding to Old Rocky Top, Tennessee).
    “She looked at him as if he were something the dog dragged in to bury later!” (New Yorkers) eat for six, drink for ten! They dance the St Vidas’ Dance!!!!” Brilliant!!! I killed myself laughing. Thank You. Rock Mattella, Great name !!!

    You are doing a corking job with these short tales, Nick.
    Have been listening to them, now and then, here and there, night or day,
    and having a good time.
    Good for the bean. You agree?

      I'm Canadian but I lived for nine years in three widely dispersed U.S. states. Your accents are just fine AFAI am concerned. Even if they may be off they give an interesting idea of what Brits think US Americans sound like. I had fun trying to learn to sound like a native West Virginian. It took two years before I could say "y'all" without the class going silent and staring at me. (BTW, the plural is "all y'all"). No relevance to your fine readings, of course

    As one of your listeners across the pond, I thought the accents were delightful. I live in north Florida, about an hour away from the Alabama state line. My mother's family are from Alabama and the Aunt's accent made me think she was from the south. Great job, as always, Mr. Martin!

    I was imagining in my head Jeeves just like Woodhouse in Archer ( for those who don't know, Archer is a comic serie, on netflix) but I thought it was just in my head. Today I searched and I found out that Woodhouse in archer is actually named by PG Wodehouse! Very interesting. Loved your audiobook! It will help me a lot in my essay today in my English class.

    That American accent, I had to work on it. I never thought Illinois sounded like that. Then I thought of Mark Twain. Yup, close enough. I’ve never heard it myself and I lived 11 yrs in Wichita KS but it did sound like Mark Twain. Lol. Such fun.

    Riddled with mispronunciations of all sorts of words from Latin tags to celebrity names of the day e.g. "Ed Wyan" instead of "Ed Wynn", and on and on. Why is there never a voice Director on these productions?
