Please record my vote to retain the Star spangled Banner as our national anthem. It has tradition. And it can be sung if one starts in a lower key.

I wasn’t suggesting the SSB *needed* to be replaced, just that the main reason most people cite for wanting to change it is the difficulty. And it’s not just that it covers a very wide range (an octave and a half), it’s the interval jumps that the singer is required to make. There are several jumps of a major 6th, and one jump of a 10th (octave plus a major third).
