As it is your national day I thought this would be better for the whole country rather than isolated parts

Thanks for the reminder. It is easy to forget we are the "United" States when problems at home (particular regions or single state issues) seem so overwhelming. This Land WAS made for USA.

Carolinanan117 and I saw Steve and John Prine in concert in the old Saenger theater in Mobile back in the day.

This one is fairly recent but I really like it.

This has always irked me because you cannot head west from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City, TN...barring traveling around the entire globe, sans 75 miles or so. Otherwise, good song.

Tarheel, some of us in the great beyond (beyond the borders of the US, that is) do know what the names Mississippi and Missouri mean – in fact I believe I first read that in the National Geographic before I finished high school.
But there probably are a great number of folk around who don’t know what the Big Muddy is.
Regards,
Mike

That is such a great video, brilliant performance and the quality of the recording is very good. I hope there is a copy in the Smithsonian or Library of Congress.
