I'm a Yankee who lives in the south. Actually, I'm a damn Yankee, 'cause I stayed (so say my southern brethren).
I moved south to chase work, and a woman I was dating at the time moved here a month or two ahead of me. She complained that she couldn't understand anybody, but I figured she was exaggerating, because she tended to complain about everything.
When I finally moved, I had to agree with her, some of the southern accents were difficult for me to understand. Now, after twenty years here, I hardly notice the accent, unless it's a very strong (or as they say here, "real country") accent. Now when I visit the Boston MA area, the "Put the cah in the yahd" speak sticks out to me like a sore thumb.
It certainly helps when you have a common interest (Whiskey, Moonshine, women and food, etc.) to focus on, as you said.

That's a Mike Judge characterization of a Texas bumpkin. Awesome! :-)
There are some pretty cool videos of Mike Judge doing his various characters.

Hilarious. I'm wiping the tears from my eyes. I'll need to listen to that again.

You won't regret it!
