Hey there, it is "growin' like a breeze", not blowing, no way!

Wondered why it wouldn't accept my right word.

Agreed, though I guess I could see keeping it as a type-in. I also don't think there should be an 'And' before 'Driving.'

Had an editing session with this quiz and it turns out some websites have it as 'growing' and others 'blowing'. I've added both as acceptable type-ins. As for the 'And' before 'Driving', again it differs between websites. Less have the 'And' than do so I have made it into a text cell.

I went and watched a couple of videos of John Denver singing it, and in every video he keeps his mouth open, so there's no chance of producing the bilabial fricative required for 'blowing.'

The 'and' is a little less clear, on the album there's a bit of an 'n' blended right up against the beginning of driving, but it's not heard in any of his live concerts... I think you made good choices in both cases.

Beautiful song. One tip, though, is would it be worth getting the lyrics to read left-to-right, in the way you'd normally read them in a book? Here's an example. Technically the key to doing this is that at Step 4 - Design Grid, choose Manual from the drop down box at the top of the page.

I had to learn this song for the birthday party of a friend of mine - he just earned me five points on JetPunk. My only problem was spelling 'Shenandoah' - I am not sure how many combinations I tried until I tried the second 'n'.

One of John Denver's finest, even though he had never been to West Virginia when he co-wrote this.

Yeah, it's one of those names you kinda have to be aware of to get it. I'm not convinced the type-ins are generous either

Cool quiz. I could've sworn it was "flowing like a breeze," though.
