[Dixielandjazz] Super Bowl National Anthem

[Ron L'Herault]

On the other hand, if a bunch of drunken Englishmen could successfully sing
it, why can't we?

Awful? Perhaps.

But then what can we expect since the melody is an Old English  
drinking song?

Would we prefer a drunken choir of 50 singing it in an English pub? Or  
is it time to change our National Anthem to "America The Beautiful" or  
something that makes more musical sense.

Cheers,
