That was awesome!

[The Great RJ]

Great rendition but I’m still partial to an instrumental version of the Star Spangled Banner arranged by Felix Vinatieri, band master for Custer’s 7th Calvary. A CD of Vinatieri’s music played on 1870s instruments including the Star Spangled Banner is available from the National Music Museum.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

My only wish is that they would have sung the 4th verse

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes 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, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Of course if they would sing that in public today, they could be arrested!

My only wish is that I knew who they were when and wher it was. Minot able to forward it at least
