Here's where I voted: http://www.vipnet.org/cgi-bin/song/submitform.cgi It seems as if "The Old Dominion" is a popular name that was chosen once before by committee. This is an excerpt from the above site: "* 1986-Commission Established, Recommendation Rejected. Delegate Thomas R. Moncure, Jr. from Stafford, Virginia was named head of a special commission to solicit ideas for a new song. The commission held public hearings around the state and sorted through hundreds of songs. Ultimately, the commission chose "The Old Dominion" written by Adelle Abrahamse from New York who taught music in Charlottesville. However, the legislature did not adopt."

Note that the latter is NOT the song we want to be promoting. When you vote, be sure to scroll to the end of the page, select "The Old Dominion" and make sure the credit is "by Eddie From Ohio." viva Eddie, * M. P.S. I wore my "Folkin' Excellent" shirt to the first day of this year's Falcon Ridge Folk Festival; it got noticed by some 10 people, with responses ranging from "Cool!" to "Did you get that shirt here?" to "Ohmigod, are they playing here?" (they weren't) Hope the crowd response can draw Eddie to FRFF next summer!
