WHY "Songs in GA"

There are a few reasons why I titled this album "SONGS IN GA."  Firstly, I grew up in Georgia(GA), and secondly, because all of songs on the album are in the key of G or A....except "Day 2 of 10 at Ramada Inn" which is in the key of C, but it is the only track I wrote in the state of Georgia while I was in quarantine prison.  In addition, G and A are the main chords out of all 4 that exist, so there's that. 

I once heard Jackson Browne say his new album was mainly songs in the key of A, so if he could do it, so can I(not that I compare to his greatness).
