Turn Again: a Janet Fraiser fanmix (with ficlets)
Er, yes. So I made this. And I don't know if it's what I meant it to be (the tone is somewhat more depressing than I intended), but my excuse is that all my music is on my hd back home.

And I forgot that that's one of those key British/North American pronunciation differences: y'all tend to emphasize the first syllable in names like Gerard and Bernard, and we tend to emphasize the last. And of course you're right that Gar should always have a hard g, but I've found that most people (who aren't from central KY) don't pay that much attention to the spelling of Garrard County and sort of assume it's Gerrard pronounced ger-ARD, which is not even remotely correct. :) Though now I'm really curious which counties around there you did think sounded like a boy's name: there's Boyle, Mercer, Lincoln, Jessamine, Woodford, Fayette (which is Lexington)--those are the surrounding ones that come immediately to mind for me, and none of them sound like boy's names to me! At least not first names. *goes to actually look at a map* Okay, I guess as you get further afield to the east you run into Madison and Clark, and to the southwest Taylor and Casey. Anyway, not that it matters a bit!
Also, I meant to tell you before that I have always vaguely associated Dar's "The One Who Knows" with Daniel and Janet, for reasons that I'm not sure make actual sense (and have a lot to do with the fact that the first time I listened to that album--sort of non-stop--was also the weekend Michelle posted her season 7 tear-jerker of a fic series (the name of which escapes me at the moment). But if you've got some amount of association going on there, too, at least with Janet, then maybe it's not just coincidence and there really is something about that song.
