LadyJean, that's interesting.

I guess I should read the local paper or check out Pittsburgh's news from time to time. I live less than 5 minutes away from Stephen Foster's birthplace, and I hadn't heard of that event.

I'm going to be out of town that day, but it would have been interesting to see how that day went...

And, Leadfingers, I'm assuming that Doo-Dah in the UK is the same as Doo-Doo in the USA.

I don't think that Doo-Dah name will go over well in the US either because of that reason and also because of other words that are similar to it {"Doo"=hairdo=hair style; doo-dahs=trinkets; "doing the do=sexual intercourse"..etc etc etc.

Besides "Do Dah Day" just sounds so babyish and uncool.

In my opinion, of course.

I wonder how much money a consultant got to come up with that doozy.
