I love CBC radio. I listen to their podcasts all the time now, and I'm starting to get a tiny grasp on Canadian politics, a taste of LOVELY indie music, and hey, on Vinyl Cafe today I found a new folk singer/songwriter to like: Tanya Davis (pronounced TANN-yuh). I really love her voice. I'm going to go seek out more of her music.

Wow, I really have been here a long time. I had to read your pseudophonetic spelling of 'Tanya' multiple times before I got past the "but how ELSE would you say her name?" hump. *g*

I almost said "as in Tanya Tucker", but I've heard people pronounce that incorrectly. :-)

TAH-nyuh (or TAWN-yuh).

ah - okay, never met any of those. all the tanyas i've known were either TANN-yuh or TANN-yah

An American would say TAH-nya.

You know, like the difference between the American and Canadian ways of pronouncing 'pasta' and 'Mazda'. *g*
