'Catter Art Thieme sings a score or more of traditional songs from and about Illinois, including these two great ones:

Down By the Embarass (pronounced "Am-braw"), a version of the Rivers of Texas with Illinois rivers

The State of Illinois -
So move your family westward
Bring all your girls and boys
And rise to wealth and honor
In the state of Illinois (Why isn't this one in the DT?)

Maybe Art will see this and contribute more than just the recently penned songs mentioned in the other posts...
