[Dixielandjazz] Super Bowl National Anthem

[Dixiejazzdata]

polite snip from Steve's post:


Good point, but who will verify that they could sing it successfully?  

Have any of our British friends heard "To Anacreon in Heaven" sung?  

Did the song survive? Does the Anacreontic Society (A gentlemen's club  

of amateur musicians), who sang this song still exist?



The answer to this profound question is blowin'in the wind Steve,

Of course the society exists,  look at how many amateur musicians 
are playing and blowing wind all over the world.

 They have survived and multiplied greatly :))   Rotflol

If we think the Star Spangled Banner is hard to sing, try and sing the  

original words. See them at:  (Go ahead, sing along sober and then try  

it drunk)
