Miss West Virginia

Miss West Virginia (feat. Carley Greer) ISRC: TCAKA2515641 (3:31)
Words and Music by Marty Falle

True story. When I first moved to Eastern Kentucky, I was selling lawbooks. I met my new boss Mel Pennington in Lexington, the same week his daughter died of leukemia. Her name was Mel Ann Pennington and she was Miss West Virginia just a few years earlier. I got to know this striking and talented woman through my travels with Mr. Pennington. She gave so much to the world and passed away at 27 years old. I was inspired to someday honor her memory through my music. Carly Greer, vocalist of the Bluegrass Band Crandall Creek out of Wheeling, WV., was my first and only choice to sing with on this tribute – Marty Falle July 2025
