Miss it when stadiums and arenas did the playing of the anthems with their organists, and occasionally with singers. The 'American Idol' version of our anthem - I do not consider it disrespectful, but it draws more attention to the singer and not the Anthem or what it represents. I say give it back to the organists.
This is true. Frankly, I'm sick to death of the squalling we hear these days (and it's as if they can't even hit the right notes in the last part... disgusting!)
I recently wrote you about how good this organ sounds even though it isn't big. Now after hearing it play flat out at the end of the anthem I'm even more impressed. Anyone listening would think it's a grand pipe organ. Just keep playing and I'm sure we'll all be listening but I can't sing the national anthem. I get choked up after just a few words.
Same here ! I have a video with The motto " IN GOD IS OUR TRUST " high lighted - a Patriotic medley, please visit it sometime, called In GOD WE TRUST - Lance †
Thank you so much. In the last 8 years Even though I am retired from the Air Force I have been ashamed of what bush has done to to our country.I cried when I heard you play this.I can't discripe how I felt. You have brought back my pride and love for America.I hope the whole world hears this. God bless you and God bless America
That was beautiful. As a Nam vet, and a disabled citizen of the United States of America, this song set made me sit up and thanking all of the active military & vets from my heart through God.
And I have to say "thank you" for your presious gift that God gave you and for your work of God through your beautiful music.
beautiful just like the USA

Isn't there no difference between an A key and a B-Flat key? I'm learning music, if anyone could clarify that it would be great!
ViktorDragmire 2 years ago
The B Flat key signature is raised higher in this instance... You should be able to hear it when I go from A- Flat to B--Flat. Hope that helps♫ ♪

The last verse is surely the one we ought to sing:
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
