The tunes from them are by no means all favourites, but they do for me, sum up the state. Not heard it myself before, but I find myself strangely smitten.Д«ut as ever, music and film go hand in hand for me, and three movies immediately came to mind for this Pennsylvania post. A nice little film to accompany the song that gives us a bit of a flavour of what it might be like to live there. вЂњLoudon howeverвЂќ, he added, вЂњalso wrote the more affectionate Ode To PittsburghвЂќ and this time it could be found YouTube.

вЂњI donвЂ™t think youвЂ™ll find the first one on YouTubeвЂќ he said, and he was right, but fortunately he gave us some of the lyrics for Have You Ever Been To Pittsburgh.

Last but not least Lynchie, a frequent and very knowledgeable visitor to the music blogosphere, came up with two songs by Loudon Wainwright III.

Philadelphia played an important role in the American Revolution as a meeting place for the Founding Fathers of the United States вЂ“ The Declaration of Independence was signed there on the 4th of July, 1776.

Pennsylvania has wide stretches of farmland, forests and mountains but it also has Philadelphia, the sixth largest city in the US.ДЄ few random facts about Pennsylvania.

Looking back at the вЂњhistoryвЂќ for this post (we get that here at WordPress), I started writing it back in November! I really need to pick up the pace with this series otherwise it looks as if IвЂ™m going to be in my dotage before I make it all the way round to my final destination, Florida. For anyone new to this place,В I have a continuous route map where I enter and leave each state only once.В Suggestions for the next leg always welcome! Welcome to this occasional series where I am attempting a virtual journey around the 50 States of America in song.
