Fun fact. Virginia was written by Bruce Miller. Earlier in the '70s, the restless American put down stakes in Vancouver and was soon part of the burgeoning indie-country scene. Signed to A & M, his first solo single Anna Marie didn't do much...but was subsequently covered by Susan Jacks.

Bruce later cut the Rude Awakening album co-produced by David Foster and Gaye Delorme. The title track was a modest Canadian hit. Bruce then returned to the US and gained songwriter cred with songs for Prism, Pure Prairie League and, in later years, big names like Reba McEntire.
