Pennsylvania

In teaching Shadow school today, I learned something new. I learned that Pennsylvania has it's own song called none other than, "Pennsylvania". The song was presented to the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 1989 introducing and adopting the song, (lyrics and music by Eddie Khoury and Ronnie Bonner), as the State song of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania General Assembly adopted "Pennsylvania" as the official song of the Commonwealth on November 19, 1990. It was signed into law by the Governor Robert P. Casey on November 29, 1990.
