The Burke's sing God Bless America (the performance that never was)

Hi friends! It's a long story but,in a nutshell...I won a dream contest...to sing at a SF Giants game (against the Dodgers even!). My family flew out from all over the U.S. My mom wrote all the harmonies and we practiced, practiced, practiced all week...Game Day came and we were so prepared and so excited!!!...And...They played the WRONG song!A few confused "booes" later-we improvised to what they were playing (Take Me Out to the Ball Game). Although I'm extremely grateful just to have had the experience of singing w/my entire family. I always felt so bad-especially for my parents (Mom was 67 and flew out from LV, Dad 75 & flew out from FL), as we never got to sing this in the stadium & they never got the recognition they deserved for their hard work. SO, I was wondering, if you could please watch this and leave any nice comments you may have on YOUTUBE . I'm seeing them both in December and I want to show them the comments so they can finally get the crowd reaction they never got (and I can let them know how lucky I am to have such talented, loving parents and how much I appreciate their never-ending support:).THANKS!!!!! XO Laurie

Send a link to the Giants to show them what they missed. With a little luck, they'll offer you a game in 2012 :-)
