  jaydee,

  Rutherford had a deep Missouri drawl that otherwise sounded like noted politicians of his era, especially on radio. An old-timer I knew who had heard Mark Twain said Rutherford spoke with drawn out vowels much like Twain did.

  I don't hear much Missouri in his accent.....occassionally in his pausing but mostly his accent reflects his parentage. Both parents hail from Tennessee.

  Awesome downloads....Thanks!

  I hear a touch of Will Rogers in some of the things he says. Rogers was from Oklahoma, did radio around the same time, but he was much more funny.

  kurtbethel.....''he was much more funny''.... LOL Yeah, Rutherford was about as funny as a heart attack I'll bet.
