[78-L] The same song, different state?

[Gene Baron]

Hi,

The whole 'Maryland My Maryland/O Tannenbaum' topic went round the list some
months ago.  How about the state waltz songs?  There are Kentucky,
Tennessee, West Virginia, Arizona (I think), and others, I presume.  And was
Bill Monroe's 'Kentucky Waltz' (a lovely meoldy, unfortunately with only one
verse) the first of them, as I have heard?
