She has a beautiful, strong, Sco'ish brogue. She's said (at least at the
Fox Hollow Folk Festival, and perhaps more than once --
Prairie Home Companion?) that many non-Scots (esp Yanks?) assume her comprehension of standard English is limited (which is not all the case) and consequently speak to her with exaggerated slowness and volume; she says, with parodic intent, that she's got an accent, but that doesn't make her either deaf nor stupid. Perhaps the brogue, if not the patter can be documented.
