Geography....Every kind of geography imaginable here..mountains, valleys, fields, lakes, streams, deserts, lagoons, Everglades, and..so much more..

People..Every kind of people imaginable are here, and I like that. I believe it makes us special.

Cities...From the very very large, to the very small.

Lifestyles. All kinds.

PPM did many recordings of the song, the concert venues sometimes dictated how long individual songs could be. In the case of the PBS concerts, like this one, verses were likely chosen that the audience could sing along with; few people know all the verses. No big deal at all. Love the song, love the group, just listened to it three times here because I could.
