WHEW! The comments section on my blog has been restored. I lost it temporarily due to trying to install a new comments format. That one is still on the drawing board and will be more careful next time.

Blurry Screen Bump... this was also my father’s favorite hymn and sung at his funeral, too.

Very powerful — what an outstanding talent!
The Buffalo Sabres had Ronan Tynan sing “God Bless America” at some of their playoff games in recent years. His rendition would leave the fans in the Arena simply awestruck (sorry, Kate Smith). He’s actually going to be performing here with the Buffalo Philharmonic around New Years’ Eve, definitely worth a look-see.
Thanks for bringing back a somber yet sweet memory...

Most excellent.
There is an instrumental version by Jeff Beck that has been my favorite for years. This one has certainly joined it at the top of the list!

I clicked on your link and sincerely wish I had not. I suppose in the right moment it would be funny. But unfortunately after listening to something poignant and beautiful, that version just seemed wholly inappropriate.

Another interesting version of the song is performed by the 'Blind Boys of Alabama' with the words set to the music of 'House of the Rising Sun', it is worth listening to and a very interesting gospel rendition.

Side-note: During Reagan's presidency I was a DUmmie. During GHW Bush's presidency I was a DUmmie. Eight years of Clinton and real-life experience made me a conservative.
While President Reagan lay in state, I dug a hole in the center of my front lawn, lined the hole with a circle of aluminum sheeting on the inside of the hole, poured cement and planted a flag pole, pressed polished crystals and stones into the surface of the wet cement and sprayed the surface twice daily to cure the cement.
Hearing "Amazing Grace" at his funeral brings me to tears. "I once was lost/but now I'm found/was blind but now I see."
