Virginia State Song

 posted by Steve Blanchard on 11.30.07 @ 6:07 pm
 

There is a song that was recorded many years ago by Lost and Found, called Virgina, That’s My Home. It is totally positive and speaks of the joys of Virginia, referencing saw mills, coal mines, picking bluegrass music on a Saturday night, the Blue Ridge Mountains, etc. If the state is looking for a bluegrass song to become their anthem, this is the perfect selection. Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Steve
