Georgia On My Mind - Lana Gnus & Thom Wood

"Georgia On My Mind" is a song written in 1930 by Stuart Gorrell (lyrics) and Hoagy Carmichael (music). It is the official state song of the U.S. state of Georgia. Gorrell wrote the lyrics for Hoagy's sister, Georgia Carmichael [1]. However, the lyrics of the song are written ambiguously enough as to refer to the state or to a woman named "Georgia." Carmichael's 1965 autobiography, Sometimes I Wonder, records the origin: a friend suggested: "Why don't you write a song called 'Georgia?' Nobody lost much writing about the South."

The song is best known as sung by Ray Charles, who first recorded the song in 1960. It became Georgia's state song in 1979.

Thanks Lana for doing "Georgia On My Mind" while visiting you Christmas 2007. This song means a lot to us Americans, especially my next-door neighbor Georgia. Much love to you, Nina, and Alex, and wish each of you the best! ..... Thom
