Hi Due!

Not bad. I am still a purist and do not care for the rock and roll version.
Like you, I do not like it when so called singers think it is all about them either.

I guess it is just too much to ask some talented person with a great voice to just sing the inspiring hymn in all the reverential awe it was written for at the time it was written and the inspiration for why it was written.

Just my two pennies of thought on that.

Hope you and family are well and doing fine!

The best,

micro.. Very Happy

Madison Rising...

From the IAMO blog:

The Republican Convention Should Open With This Song

I’m fairly particular about how America’s national anthem should be played. I think it should be done with reverence and respect. It should be about the SONG, not the singer, and I generally have no patience for histrionical, self-absorbed “celebrities” who mangle it because they’re trying to “make it their own.”

...

That said, I heartily endorse Madison Rising’s version. Somehow they’ve figured out how to make their own particular flourishes enhance rather than detract from the power and beauty of the song. Bacon to them.
