Dutch Swing College Band 1960 Carry me back to old Virginny: Rereleased on CD "Live in 1960" Carry Me Back to Old Virginny is a song which was written by James A. Bland (1854 -- 1911), an African American minstrel who wrote over 700 folk songs. Written in 1878, soon after the American Civil War, when many of the newly freed slaves were struggling to find work, the song has become controversial in modern times. A slightly reworded version was Virginia's state song from 1940 until 1997, using the word "Virginia" instead of "Virginny". In 1997, it was retired on the grounds that the lyrics were considered offensive to African Americans. On January 28, 1997, the Virginia Senate voted to designate "Carry Me Back to Old Virginia" as state song emeritus, and a study committee initiated a contest for writing a new state song. The Virginia General Assembly suspended the contest on January 5, 2000, and recently reinstated it. There are currently eight candidates. In January 2006, a state Senate panel voted to designate "Shenandoah" as the "interim official state song". On March 1, 2006, the House Rules Committee of the General Assembly voted down bill SB682, which would have made "Shenandoah" the official state song. The Band: Peter Schilperoort leader, clarinet, alto saxophone, baritone saxophone; Oscar Klein cornet, trumpet; Dick Kaart trombone; Jan Morks clarinet; Arie Ligthart banjo, guitar; Bob van Oven double bass; Martin Beenen drums.
