[Dixielandjazz] Singers

[Stephen Barbone]

Yes, don't those singers inflame one's passions. The opinion I love best
was by the commander of a local American Legion Post in my area. He said
in a letter to the local newspaper:

"Doesn't anyone but me care that Celine Dion sang "God Bless America" at
the super bowl? Since when did we annex Canada? She's a Canadian. Worse
yet, a French Canadian. Can't the Super Bowl producers get Americans to
perform instead of foreigners?"

Now there's a man after my own heart. Doesn't give a damn that the
"Americans" singing at these events just murder the songs. All he cares
about is that some "French Canadian" sang "God Bless America".

Seems to me we should be happy that a "foreigner" would want to sing
that song publicly in the first place, and that she did such a good job
of it to boot.

Some folks need to get a life. Thank goodness this complainer was not
the Commander of the American Legion Post  to which I belong.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
