[Dixielandjazz] 4th of July Music

[Stephen Barbone]

Bob Romans asked:
I'm looking for a piece of choral music called "This Is My Country",
Anyone out there ever heard it ?

List mates:

I heard it at very loud volume, over my 250 watt portable Fender sound
system for a fireworks show a few days ago. The Fireworks Company,
plugged their music and ignition cues (fed automatically to their firing
computer) into the Fender because I had the only sound there.

The Fender system came through like a champ. We had 18 minutes of
glorious fireworks cued to everything from "This Is My Country" to
"Proud To Be An American" to Kate Smith's "America The Beautiful".
Needless to say, I was very nervous about the firing system because we
were running the electric on a 1 KW generator and had we stalled, run
out of gas, or anyone knocked a plug loose, who knows what would have
happened.

The fireworks cost $35,000. The band, not quite as much. ;-)

Sorry Bob, don't have the music.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
