Every small town fireworks has some local girl who has to jazz it up.
And why is our national anthem a solo show-off performance? Let’s sing it together, straight.
Even I, albeit in my own key, can sing the national anthem.

I was raised in the Methodist Church. We don’t sing good, but we do sing loud. And, in our own key, too.
The Anthem doesn’t need ‘interpretation’. It needs to be felt.
