This week's fun fact is that Massachusetts has an official Glee Club song.
"The Great State of Massachusetts"
Words by George A. Wells, and music by J. Earl Bley
Adopted on November 24, 1997.
"The Great State of Massachusetts", words by George A. Wells and music by J. Earl Bley, was designated by Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 2, § 43 on November 24, 1997.
I couldn't find a live version of the song or sheet music. Instead, have a listen to the Worcester Polytechnic Institute Glee Club singing "Wake, Freshman, Wake" from the 2011 Alumni Weekend
We have a state song too. It's called Old New Hampshire. I like the oxymoron of the old new. Happy Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI just went to Youtube to listen to it. Fun!
DeleteFabulous and fun! Wishing you a very happy weekend 😊. Hugs Jo x

DeleteThis little tidbit will come in handy during that lull in the conversation at my next cocktail party.....snort....
ReplyDeleteaddendum to previous comment: I didn't mean that to sound snarky. I just like to drop bits of useless information to watch people's conversation come to a screeching halt.....🤣
