Wow. Maybe there is hope for America yet. :)

I pray the world comes to the aid of my own autistic son in the future, especially in the days after I’m gone. That is my biggest worry.

God Bless.

Pretty darn good. Interesting how after a few fans laughed, the rest simply started to sing. Very nice.

I think this was cool and reminded me of what Canadian fans do at hockey games. They sing their national anthem with pride, we should start doing this like we use to. HTML link

It sounded like they laughed with him. Then started cheering and singing.

This video just makes you feel GOOD! The crowd laughed WITH him and then everyone seemed to get into the spirit and helped him out. Bravo.

Thanks, those are pretty good. I was so anxious to hear the trumpet hit the high notes on the last one. He did not disappoint.

so this is the way you actually get the crowd to sing!...maybe doing away fully with church choirs would get the parishoners to actually sing...

I'm with you Lib..my adult aspergers dtr who lives with us doesn't "fit" in well even though she is a higher functioning type person....I worry about her future too...

It still surprises me, after living here for 28 years, that the national anthem is sung by an individual, rather than the entire audience, at sporting events etc....

Has it always been so?
