[kj] ot - for US gatherers - dixie test

[fluw]

many of the hillbillies playing jigs and reels on their banjers and 
fiddles in the remote back hollers of the appalachians came from the 
british islands and used the music they knew there as aggregate for the 
sounds today known as bluegrass, fiddle and country music. maybe some of 
those linguistic dixieisms have similar roots in anglicisms as well?
