This song goes back to the early 1800's when the fur traders went through the Appalachian mountains and stopped to see if Native Americans had furs to trade or sell. Shenandoah was a chief of the Oneida tribes who lived to be 110 - 1706 to 1816. Shenandoah is now a National Park (the Shenandoah River runs through it ) in Virginia. Geoff did this one for his wife. My 3rd grade teacher taught it to us back in 1958. And another you might enjoy is Way Down (Elvis Presley) where his last note is a C1 only a B0 and A0 go deeper on the piano. Plus he dances as well as sings.
Beautiful old song. This was a special request from his wife Kathy. Like a good husband he keeps her happy. He went with the old saying of a happy wife and happy life.
Hello Jenn....yes very nice..thanks for your reaction....didn't know the song but Geoff did an excellent job....his voice is so low, its just so beautiful....have a nice day😊....see you❤
Origins of the song go back to the early 19th century. Geoff gives it a great spin 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 The Shenandoah river runs into the Potomic River and there is also a Shenandoah National Park
This is one of my top favorites of Geoff's tunes. I was so happy that he included it on his recent CD release. It sounds great in my car! This is a very old traditional folk song in the U.S. He did this one because it was a favorite of his wife Kathy's. Thank you for reacting to Geoff's solo work again! I'll be looking forward to your reaction to Geoff's "Song of Durin." All three of his Middle Earth tunes are on the top of my list too. Be on the lookout for Geoff and VoicePlay each to drop their Christmas releases in early December.
No one really knows the origin of the song as there was an Indian chief named Shenandoah also. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh_Shenandoah Geoff gives a little bit more info in his video description (beneath the credits). He often adds more there.
I loved that you repeated that section! I absolutely love the part sung by the Geoff leaning on the piano. It sends chills all through me every time I hear it. Love your reactions, thank you.
This is an old Appalachian folk song, and I love it! I sung it for the first time many years ago in college, and many times since. It's very special to me, and Geoff did a fantastic job.
fun fact. the piano he's playing in the video was entirely a half step out of tune. now imagine trying to film a video without wincing over that playing with the track.

One of the songs of my childhood! Geoff always knocks it out the park.

I'm a little late today. I slept in a bit. Thank you for doing Geoff. He's amazing. Thanks.❤
This one by Geoff is absolutely beautiful😍 thanks for the reaction..
Geoff's voice is so beautiful in this 😊
The song was also used in the 1965 movie Shenandoah starring Jimmy Stewart. One of my Geoff favorites as well. Great reaction.
❤❤❤❤🎹
This is so beautiful and soothing. I do love his baritone register probably more than the lowest bass.
If you look at pictures of the Shenandoah valley you'll understand the feeling of the song
Glad you repeated that part, it's my favorite part! 🥰
