The official State song is West Virginia Hills.

But I don't know if there is any other state that has inspired so many songs of longing to return as has West Virginia.

Like Russ, my favorite is West Virginia, You Are My home,
but one I learned from "Soup Kitchen", written by Coleen Anderson is a close second. It's called West Virginia Chose Me, which begins, "Someone's Always Leaving Here..."

Pete, my fiddlin' sister, Annie, never misses Clifftop and keeps trying to get me there. She really loves it. However, I'm a singer, mostly a cappella, not a instrumentalist, and I start to fret (no pun intended) at feeling left out in the parking lot and campground sessions. (I likes to listen-but I likes to participate too!)
