Inspired fan pens “Vandy 1982″ for Dores’ historic season
You are so Nashville if… you write a song about your hometown football team ending its 26-year bowl-game drought. Inspired by Vanderbilt’s historic college football season, diehard fan Bruce “Commodore” Keedy created “Vandy 1982,” an ode to fans who have suffered through all the losses to witness this year’s wins. Here’s a selection:
Vandy, please connect me
With 1982.
I need to cast those demons out
for fans who’ve been so true.I reminisce of Birmingham
the Hall of Fame Bowl blues.
It’s finally here, a Vandy year
like 1982.They said we’d go 0-for 20
to get six wins in line.
Instead we won, a bowl will come
A black-and-gold high five.
The song is set to Randy Travis’ hit 1982. If you’re a Commodore fan, it may sound more like the Hallelujah Chorus. Nice work, Bruce! Go Dores!

I have been aware of this artist/writer for some time. He has been a part of the bluegrass sound for years. He is proficient on the guitar and mandolin sings lead and harmonies writes composes and produces. i believe he is the owner of acoustic music studios. Those familiar with bluegrass also know him from his spring fling bluegrass festivals held near by each year.
