but the Battle Hymn of the Republic *was* religious, after all.

More Masonic than religious....actually.

They play it a lot....

I have attended Blue Lodges in most of the states East of the
Mississippi and I have NEVER heard "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"
played. FWIW, I have never heard it played in any appendant body,
either.


Yes, but wasn't the one posted a good rendition?

I didn't listen and....

....well, I guess you reminded me that I have a project.

I had this really great idea to wire the deck and pipe Sirius from the
computer out there via the stereo amplifier for listening. Problem is
that now I don't have a neat way to "unplug" the stereo and use the PC
speakers. I'd have to punch the "go" button and then stand out in the
rain to listen....

I use a JVC receiver for my computer sound. I just plug into the
accessories jack on the back. The receiver is also a CD player, so it gets
used a lot. If I wanted to do what you're doing, I'd get a receiver with
outputs for two sets of speakers, which the one I've got doesn't have.

Here's a link to the same song by the same high school choirs showing the
kids doing the singing.
