Not only is SHENANDOAH a bird in hand, but (with its haunting music) the song
represents the thousands upon thousands of Virginians who left for the "west
country" and built a nation, while looking longingly at the memory of their
Virginia landscape.  In so many ways, Virginia is America because of the role of
its role as the first successful English colony in the Americas, its leaders
who formed the infant government and those who crossed the Shenandoah and
tamed the west.
