You make sense to me; but, you better pack up those "11 generations" and
"hollar" at the General Assembly -- PDQ -- "old foggy" forum here "ain't gonna
get your common sense nowhere".

While "Shenandoah" is fine as a song and tune, I cannot support it as
Virginia's official state song.  We need a state song that talks directly
about Virginia.

If "Shenandoah" becomes the official state song this year, then no one will
want to go through the hassle of attempting to get another song, words
and/or tune, passed by the G.A. at a later date.

Why should Virginia have a state song that does not even mention the state's
name or attributes?  That is a worse choice than having a state song which
some folks object to hearing because it is not politically correct in their
opinion.

I will stick with "Carry Me Back to Old Virginia."
