Y'all,
Years ago (2005-ish?), deep in the bowels of a listening room in Billerica, MA, I was introduced to a vocal jazz track with a prominent female vocalist. I have been searching for over 15 years to find out the name of the Artist or title of the song. I have to admit, I have very little to offer by way of clues... but, nonetheless... here goes...
It was a slow, somber tune, perhaps a piano and small jazz ensemble maybe? The only lyric I heard was "Ohio" (not to be confused with the anti-war anthem from Neil Young of the same name). I only remember that she had a long drawn out pause between the "O-" and the "-Hi-Oh". And it sort of fell in the progression as she sang it. This word, Ohio, had to have played a dominant role in the chorus, because she repeated it several times in the song.
It was a beautiful song. I thought I'd written it down somewhere but can't find it. I had hoped that it was one of the usual suspects, but haven't been able to find it anywhere.
I know... long shot... but.. any ideas?
Thanks in advance for anyone who might be able to help.

Chuck- YES- THAT'S IT!!! Thanks so much! I thought there wasn't a sno-ball's chance in the bad place that somebody would be able to figure it out. However, in just a few seconds of the opening lyrics I recognized it.
I didn't take any offense to the "Duh" part either- I know exactly what you meant. (Sort of like- "Imagine that!"
) I searched and searched buy looking for "Ohio" you get a lot of the Neil Young anti-war song and several by the Ohio State Marching Band, but not this one.
Thanks again!
Thanks Scott! No, it wasn't that one. It was actually in the Levinson/Lexicon offices there in Billerica.
Thanks for the help though!
Seems that Cody forgot about his question.
Sorry yes- I saw the reply come through email, came out and saw one response, but didn't made it back out to the site to read the rest of them.
Thanks for all the help!

Cool, glad I could help. Again check out the rest of OTR's music. They're pretty prolific so there's lots to choose from. Tasty stuff...

This song seems to fit the poster's description:
Look at Miss Ohio by Gillian Welch.
