If Larry Fine was born in Philadelphia . . .

I'm guessing you don't know who Gary is. Look up "Stoogeum".

Well, then, he should be able to tell me if Larry sounds Philadelphian.
JazzBill:
Out of the Stooges I always thought Curly had the most noticeable accent.
Liz:
I did a project on this for my Linguistics class (not solely on this. It was on all the Stooges and on Laurel & Hardy) which I just presented yesterday. My partner/good friend and I were researching the dialectology of the Stooges and of Laurel & Hardy. We confirmed that Larry had an accent because he is from relatively the same part of the country as were Moe, Curly, and Shemp.
And Bill, are you sure? Moe's accent is pretty pronounced!
JazzBill:
I guess its a matter of opinion Liz, to me it seems like Curly had a more distinct accent. I do agree with your area of the country concept though. I can usually spot if a person is from the midwest or the east coast or south etc. But it's hard to pick out the exact city.
