If your looking for a dose of northeast yankee audio, check out any of the books by Jane Langton. I don't know how i found her but i'm so thrilled i did. I am working my way thru the 18 homer kelley mysteries, and the one i'm listening to in the car now was written in 1964. Its so quaint it should come on reel to reel, the men still wear ties for work! Almost all of them i've listened to revolve around boston with "Murder at the Gardner " , (that wonderful freak of a museum that had the huge theft they pretend didn't happen, ) just wanting me to pack up the LA house and go move to Concord, Mass.
If anyone has any suggestions for other audio's with a good northeast feel please drop me a line, this LA drive doesn't get any shorter everyday!
