MY FLORIDA HOME (written by Jack Speer & Julie Speer, production & vocals by Tim Buppert):

In 2008, Florida’s state song, Down By The Suwannee River, by Stephen Foster, was deemed racially offensive and a contest was launched by the State of Florida to select a new state song. This was the song my wife, Julie, and I submitted. It’s worth noting that a song was never selected and no further word was ever communicated about this contest. I had considered trying to get this song to Jimmy Buffett...

We wanted to write an 'Up' track with a leaning toward a gospel feel.
