Nothing says civic pride like adopting a song about flying the coop, moonshine, or being mocked by the British. Check it out at https://tnocs.com/us-state-songs-explained-the-surprising-stories-behind-americas-official-anthems/

While writing Bandcamp notes for album 11 "The Serfville Monad and the Pluperfect People," I gave a listen to the beautiful old-timey “Hard Times Come Again No More”. Performed by the “Anonymous 4” and Bruce Molsky. It's from the album “1865: Songs of Hope and Home from the American Civil War (Bonus Track Version)”

When the pandemic first hit, live in-person music was out of the question. After my friend #BarryGray posted a YouTube of this great old #StephenFoster tune, I got the idea of adding a steel track. Then it occurred to us to add more contributors, each recorded at our respective homes. Ultimately we’d do over 20 such “remote” projects, helping us stay sane through Hard Times.

A friend mentioned the Stephen Foster tribute album called Beautiful Dreamer that came out a few years ago. My fave on that album is Grey Delisle's take on Willie We Have Missed you. It's haunting and nothing like the original.
