OT: Trivia Question

[Waquoit]

I came across a pretty good one. Name the two songwriters that have composed two different state songs.

It's tough enough coming up with one, can't imagine coming up with a dozen at a time.

That is a tough one, and that's coming from a guy who was 61-61 for correct answers on Jeopardy last night.

Good call on John Denver. I would have gotten Stephen Foster, but the second one was eluding me. I knew West Virginia but didn't know Colorado had adopted Rocky Mountain High.

Yes, with the legalization of marijuana here, "Rocky Mountain High" is a natural for our state song...

Extending our geography a bit, maybe South Pacific Overture for Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, and Midway.
