"This is My West Virginia" was written by Iris Bell in 1961, when she awoke in the middle of the night with the music and lyrics running through her head. She quickly found pencil and paper and wrote down the song, which became the Centennial Song that same year, and the following year was adopted as the third and final State Song of West Virginia. Iris believed in the beauty and nobility of our state and its people, and her passion comes through in the heartfelt lyrics and rousing march accompaniment. Iris Bell on piano and vocals, Butch Miles on drums, Derek Pierson on bass.
