I noticed while watching Ian Sevenonius interview Bonnie 'Prince' Billy that 'border state' southeners without strong accents still pronounce "to" as "tuh."

It's a good interview anyway, covering dolphin porn, communism and the music biz, etc

I like "tuh," it's blues.

Ian Svenonius is not only a lyricist and performer of unparalleled depth and intensity...

It's all very odd because I got the feeling Svenonious was consciously avoiding saying things like "like" and "um."
