Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | I don't know about you, but there are times when the National Anthem is sung at events when I just want to cover my ears. But here is a performance that is just fantastic!

Somewhere someplace I have a recording of Marvin Gaye doing the anthem. That's real good, too. |

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | I normally get geese bumps when I hear our Nation Anthem. I also get 'em with Taps, the Missing Man Formation and the 'thwap, thwap, thwap' of a Huey chopper.
But this rendition should be the standard for the Anthem! Awesome!!!
Thanx MusicMishka ! |

Patience is needed, it's at the end of the clip. One of the best closers I've seen up close and personal. We were right at the stage. If you listen close, you can hear me screaming! :D

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Thanks for asking Jim...its been really acting up the past three days: most pain I've had in two months...I knew the treatments would not last forever but I was hoping to get more than 60 days relief...the injury was pretty severe. I'm just trying to hang in there. And of course, I've signed up to play golf at Amelia...call me crazy; call me irresponsible; call me a cab or 911...lol |
