John,
I am interested in your panel idea for reading dialect in Huck Finn. I
have taught the book and have read aloud from it for 15 years. I'm from
Texas and can do a decent accent when I want to. I'd be happy to send
you a tape. I am a woman, although white. I particularly like the
chapter in which Huck visits Ms. Loftis.
