Not true, northern WV sounds like PA and if you go one down south to the Beckley area sounds like the deep south.

Oh yes, I'm related to Devil Anse Hatfield....of the Hatfield and McCoy feud. But, I do have some very good friends who are part of the McCoy clan...

Now I know were my dad got the ears from....we have some McCoys in the tree also.....my dad and Jerry West are cousins and hung around as kids, have you ever heard of the Anderson Family? They are a bluegrass band, they are family also...

No Milikaa1, I'm not familiar with the Anderson Family. I think Jerry West was from the Cabin Creek area. Funny how certain things keep passing from one generation to the next.....like big ears or something.
