    And, what is the correct pronunciation of Louieville? Do you pronounce the s?
    When I was there we were told it's pronounced 'Louavull', so although they don't pronouce the s they don't try to make it sound French either.

    Thank you, FP. I knew after I posted the review that someone would ask that question and I have no idea how to write it phonetically! You did great! I'll add one thing, while it's still a three syllable word, it's pronounced with only two. The 'Loua' is short and quick, and very nearly has another 'L' in it...like 'loualvull'.

    I had a teammate on one of the many volleyball teams I played on that was from here, and he taught me very quickly how to say it, so folks around here were quite surprised that I arrived here saying it correctly.

    Glad you had a good time at the show, VA. And no matter how many times I say it, I'll never pronounce it properly - for me, it's Lou-e-ville. But, I do try to say it quickly to make my gaffe a little less noticeable.

    Music has been one of my major interests for a long time, and this song is the one that started it all for me. It was June, 2004, and the local adult contemporary station was starting to slip older songs into their playlists. The song has such a colonial, renaissance-like sound to it. Like a grenade, it blew open my 9 year old head.
