Thread Name: Singing 'Shenandoah' for Brits
Subject: RE: 'Singing 'Shenandoah' for Brits
It's funny. this thread has made me realize that that I always sing, "Oh, Shenandoh," but when speaking of the river or valley, I say "Shenandoh-uh."

I guess I noticed the difference as a kid, but then I forgot. Young kids notice a lot about language.

A few years ago, we flew to Washington DC, rented a car and drove to Shenandoah National Park. With a drive of one hour, or an hour and a half, we changed worlds completely. I recommend it.
