Informational, Light

Timely for the 4th of July, but useful just about anywhere. I'm not a musician, and I'm less of singer, but I know how people feel about our national anthem. Probably it's the reason why they sing American the Beautiful a lot now, too.

I think the hard part isn't just the note, the singing of "glare" is easier than the long 'e' in free.

This reminds me of something I read once, that when people chant "Air Ball" at a basketball game, they always -- Always -- do it in the same key. F, I think.

See how these types of things stick in your head? This piece will stick with your listeners for awhile. Play it early Sunday morning.
