Great job ****ing up the Coastie thread.

Congratulations.


I thought the same thing. Narcissism at it's finest.

Nice piece of music, but from what I have seen and heard, it is not easy
to sing. The Brit's anthem is both decent music and easy to sing. The Star
Spangled banner is not easy to sing, which is surprising, since the tune
was lifted from the Brit drinking song.



My pet peeve about performances of the Star Spangled Banner, especially
singers, is when this line is almost always screwed up:

"Oh say, does that star spangled banner yet wave?"

The screw ups do "B-a-n-n-e-r" as if the notes in the music score were
climbing up and down a ladder.

The correct music score is "Ba-" then to the higher note and down with
"n-ner"

I can't help to listen for this everytime I hear someone singing it at
ballgames, etc. Most screw it up and sing it wrong.

I am very proud of the fact that I can now again sing the SSB without
dropping an octave for the higher notes. This is due to quitting smoking.

So, if you're a smoker, here's another reason to quit.

The thread started nicely, until Harry got involved. That's why Harry says
you didn't miss much.

Well, perhaps you should fund a private foundation that sponsors singing
lessons for those who want to take on the anthem. *:)


Good idea. * I'll call it the *"STARS Society" * *"Sing The Anthem Right,
Stupid"

Good one!

It's a tough sing. Some weeks ago here I suggested "God Bless America"
would be a better national anthem for many reasons, not the least of
which is that it is "singable." Naturally, the low-brain-outputers
objected in their usual way.
