I was not aware that the state song was retired. On my web site for Virginia, I have a link ot "carry me back to ole Virginny" as the state song. I may just leave it there until a new one is chosen. There was a song that came out a number of years ago called "Sweet Virgnia Breeze" recorded by a Virginian who's name eludes me in his senior moment. I always like the song and thought it would make a fitting state song. It is catchy and easy to sing. Somewhere I've got a recording of Sweet Virginia Breeze, so I can look up the name of the artist and will add it later.
