what West Virginia means to me

my mom's aunt's family is from WV. Auntie was a Hatfield, or however you spell it, of the Hatfields and McCoys, or so I was told as a child. She was very proper and had nice furniture but she never put plastic on the velvet couch or anything when sticky little me came to visit. And WV split from Virginia because they didn't want to ceceed from the union. But I've never been there so it could very well sound like banjos.
