chanter1944Me, on finally listening to tracks from Come From Away: I now have that much more reason to be proud when a stranger says I sound like a Maritimes lady. I know there's a significant difference between what people say my accent makes me sound like (a Nova Scotian) and a Newfoundlander, but still. :) 3q 3q 3q
I've alternately grinned and cried at this soundtrack tonight. Hot /shells/, why didn't I listen to this ages ago?

Date: 2017-06-13 11:12 pm (UTC)I've been an unreconstructed Canada fangirl since I spent a year in bed listening to RCI (back in the 90s, when RCI was really lovely).
Whence the movie, or the soundtrack, or best of all both?
[Umm, errm, that Q was based on a quick IMDB check. Then I happened to do a NYT search and now I at least know what you're talking about. Newsfast may save my sanity but I have been disconnected from the mainstream of popular culture.]
