  • Acton COA Presents: State Songs of the USA Presentation with John Clark

    Acton Senior Center 30 Sudbury Road Rear, Acton, MA

    Many state songs are barely known by the residents of that state, but most of this program’s state songs will be familiar to everyone in the room. Home on the Range (Kansas), You Are My Sunshine (Louisiana) Yankee Doodle (Connecticut), Carry Me Back to Old Virginny, Oklahoma, and Georgia on My Mind are the most recognizable of the bunch. Here is an interesting fact: Roll on Columbia (Washington) was written by Woody Guthrie and his son Arlo Guthrie wrote Massachusetts, one of our own seven state songs. Two more of these state songs are credited to Stephen Foster--Swanee River (Florida)
