The Entire Star-Spangled Banner

It's worth noting that musically our anthem is one of the most difficult to sing. Its range is pretty unrealistic for the average singer.

Too many octaves....

It would be more impressive if you were singing it....?

In the Breakroom....

Didn't I say I could not figure out how to post it there. I suppose if I sand La Marsellaise in Trafalgar Square, I could not get more dour welcome?

You can pm me for a link anytime....

The insinuation that people who disagree are trying to destroy the country is a gratuitous attack on other users.

This same attitude, when instituted as a matter of national policy, ie, that disagreement with opposing points-of-view is paramount to an attack on one's own country, is the hallmark of totalitarian regimes. On the personal level, surrounding oneself with only those who agree with you and opposing all the rest, is a shortcut to stagnation.

"If you can only afford one newspaper, buy the opposition's." - Thomas Jefferson

What insinuation? Why do so many hate what makes America, America? I don't get it. It is like loathing yourself, when you were made in the perfect image of Higher Power.

The only fascists I see are on the college campii where the opposing viewpoint has no freedom of expression at all, otherwise they throw temper tantrums.

What a crock of baloney!
