Here's the status on the bill running through the GA.  It's cleared the
Senate and gone to the House.

Just a reminder that the wording in the legislation was amended and, if
passed as is by the House, would designate Shenandoah as the "interim"
state song.  Of course, interim could be interpreted "indefinite."

While surfing the channels last weekend, I came across a re-re-re-run of
Jimmy Stewart and SHENANDOAH.  Yes, it is a bit jaded, a bit simplistic,
and I caught strains of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" in the background, no
doubt following the lead a decade earlier when that tune was used for
THE GRAY GHOST.  But there was certainly no doubt it was the Shennandoah
Valley of Virginia, and I sure related to the (not called but it was)
Manassas Gap Railroad.  

So Chuck Colgan must have power that we never dreamed of!!

By the way, I have not see or heard of anything about how it is faring
in the House of Delegates.  Any word from there?
