		She successfully lobbied for admission of ten female students to the University of Alabama in 1893, established the first technical school for women (now known as the University of Montevallo), and became one of the most famous presidents of the Alabama Normal College (now the University of West Alabama).
		As the South was struggling with Reconstruction, Tutwiler penned the poem that would become the state song, "Alabama." She found the inspiration for writing the lyrics after returning to her home state from Germany, where she was studying new educational methods for women at the Institute of Deaconesses in Kaiserwerth.
		"Alabama" continued to be sung to that tune until its official adoption as the state song in 1931.

		But for their legion of fiercely loyal fans, Alabama's 20th RCA album Dancin' On The Boulevard, will be just that--a treasure trove of Alabama music that is both a return to their roots and an affirmation of their collective talents as writers, musicians and entertainers.

	New Hampshire State Song: Old New Hampshire
		New Hampshire has the unusual distinction of having nine state songs, with one of them being "official" and the others "honorary." This came about by legislative votes over a quarter of a century, and was finally agreed upon in the 1977 session.
		The 1941 Legislature turned down this song, and the 1943 Legislature killed a bill proposed by Rep. Samuel P. Philbrook of Belmont, for a $1,500 public contest to pick a state song, with a $500 prize for the music and $300 for the words, along with $700 for a team of judges and related expenses.
		Coordinator Benton officially reported that the Board had voted to give the exclusive title of the official state song to the original state song of "Old New Hampshire," and this action is officially recorded as a footnote to the law creating eight state songs, in New Hampshire's Revised Statutes Annotate.

		This song is not for the faint hearted.
		I first learnt it as a fill in song, one where the rest of the guys in the band said "we should learn Sweet Home" and from there no one really put much effort into learning it because it's only 3 chords and a jamming solo around the scale of "E Blues"...
		I'ts only been the last few years when I've really started teaching the song to students that I've realised this is a difficult song to play verbatim, jamming it's easy.

		Moorer is so intent on keeping herself and Alabama Song grounded that they occasionally have trouble lifting off.

		Best is "A Soft Place to Fall" (which was originally featured on the soundtrack to The Horse Whisperer), a bittersweet tale of love's securities and insecurities that shows off both Moorer's husky, vibrant voice and her sharp way around a tune.

		The final song, Feeling that feeling again, is perhaps the saddest of all, its impact heightened by the use of a steel guitar.
