Country Music Marthon Runs by UniDig Offices of Music Row

Literally!

With a threat of severe weather and tornadoes on our tails 30,000+ turned out for the 2010 Rock n' Roll Country Music Marathon and 1/2 Marathon.

The course takes the runners, including moi, by some of Nashville's must see sites including a full scale Parthenon, the honky tonks on Broadway, the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, the Country Music Hall of Fame and somewhere around mile marker 9 the offices of Universal Digital Productions!

I can't tell you how amazing it is to be out there with so many other runners and being supported by all the spectators. Check out this great video I found that showcases that very thing!

At UniDig we use You Tube and other online searches to find the proper pronunciation of a lot of local words and terms we may not be familiar with. Recently we recorded a project with the name Nguyen. It is a very common name in the states of California and Washington. As language enthusiasts, it is interesting to hear how different the name can sound depending on the Vietnamese or American accent used in the recording.

Here is the one we went with:
