I mean, how many times does 'hay mow' come up in conversation, anyway. It just so happens that Cherry Jones grew up in a tiny rural town in NW Tennessee, a town so far out in the sticks that the nearest Waffle House is more than 40 miles away, and in another state (Kentucky). Don't forget: Cherry Jones won 2 Tony Awards and just won an Emmy for her role as "President Taylor" on the hit TV show '24,' so I bet the rest of her 'reading' on this audio tape was pretty good.
