[Joe Salmons]

Potentially in the Upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest. I’d also look at lit at ‘bag raising’ in Washington state.

Where in the US to you get this merger?  it's really common in  Northern Ireland.  You also get "bayg" (diphthongised) types there, and that i've heard in TX, TN and AR.
