Md - Trees Lounge: The 50 States: July 4th Compilation
Maryland

what's that? ah, view image on the site tells me: Maryland Governor's Office. huh, so, near Annapolis? or in it? that's the Governor's house, isn't it, that's right in town. inside one of those circles. how bout that, that I'm not sure. well.
Maryland, daughter of the east. ..Baltimore proved to have plenty of songs about it, but I can't help but feel I didn't give the rest of the state a very fair shake. .. Maryland, you have given us such great contributions as the US Naval Academy, the first catholic cathedral in the united states, the first school in the united states, first DENTAL school in the us, Babe Ruth, Cal Ripken Jr, Billy Ripken, some other baseball guys, Francis Scott Key, The Star Spangled Banner, the National Aquarium, the first hot-air balloon launch, the telegraph pole, recipient of the first telegraph message, workmens comp, Greenbelt, the methodist church of america, more miles of shoreline than any other state (4400miles!)huh I didn't know that, Spiro Agnew, John Wilkes Booth, James Cain, Frederick Douglas, Philip Glass, Billie Holiday, Johns Hopkins, Thurgood Marshall, HL Mencken, Upton Sinclair, Harriet Tubman, Frank Zappa, John Waters, 2Pac. hmm well this list does not int as much as that for Chicago (well ~ Illinois). We love you, Maryland.
*Streets of Baltimore -yup yup. that's the one rpj thought of when I asked what for maryland when he said maybe he could do a hthwf show of all songs for each state
