THanks, Deanna. THat was very interesting. . .Cannot wait to see Chris this Wednesday nite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS- I couldn't get the video, but just reading the article and what they had to say was fine. You can see that Chris comes from very honest, down-to-earth people --cannot wait for Wednesday nite!

PPS-What happened to that OBSESSED post your started? It generated so many worthwhile responses, and then poof! it disappeard?

Chris sounds like his Daddy.

I agree. Too cute! Very nice people, just like our own families.

Awww, they seem like very kind, down to earth people! So sweet.

I already have this and another clip with just his mother speaking on my playlists. What I don't have is any idea what his brother looks like...how much older he is than Chris???? Anyone? Anyone?

His mother's dialect is that of middle/upper class NC/Va dialect. What ppl do not know about NC is that it is second in the nation for the number of colleges in this state so the towns everywhere are filled with many out of state people attending college there. The economy is dependent upon ppl everywhere having the ability to relate to well educated learned ppl. The population is widespread meaning there are no huge cities but towns everywhere. You cannot go very far without finding a populated area with a college nearby. NC is filled with people that are in touch with middle America. So Chris should be like another NC native, Michael Jordan, and be able to relate to anyone from farmer to CEO.

Hopefully, with his background he will be able to "walk with Kings and Queens and not lose the common touch!"

Go Chris!
