"Take Me Home (Country Roads)" Official W. Virginia State Song

On March 7th, the West Virginia State Senate named John Denver's "Take Me Home. Country Roads" as one of the state's four official songs. Other state songs: "West Virginia Hills," "This Is My West Virginia" and "West Virginia, My Home Sweet Home." //// Of the four, I've only heard John Denver's song before. It was a favorite of mine while at Marine Corps training at Quantico in 1971. "Take Me Home," you know. //// Bluefield, W. Va. resident and DJ, Dreama Denver, widow of "Gilligan's Island star Bob Denver, led the effort to have the song included for two years. The resolution passed the House of Representatives last year.
