• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

US National Anthem done right

Much better than the high priced, agenda ridden prima-donnas who regularly butcher our national anthem on national TV.

Awesome!
 
:bowdown: :bowdown: :firstplace: :firstplace:

A very difficult song to sing. This version sounds good to me. :yes:
 
Great!! Gusto comes to mind.

And who ever let Roseann Barr butcher and disgrace our National Anthem should be forced to listen to her " sing" it till thier ear drums bleed.

What a great job he did. That sure beats highly paid, privileged pro ball players kneeling.

I'd say two times through would do that.
 
Both are well done - and the way our anthem should be sung! The football player has an outstanding voice and it reminds me of the person who sings the National Anthem at the Chicago Black Hawks games - it really fires up the crowd!
 
Well done singing by our youth back in 2014 & 2015.:clap:

patriotism need not be in key, though it is more kind to the listening ear.

As far as Roseann Barr's rendition, from July 1990. That was a unifying moment no one has ever forgotten. She has apologized. For the professional artists that have attempted the Star Spangled Banner, more have gotten it right than not for me. Love hearing all the variations including America the Beautiful :firstplace:

let's all sing along now......

Oh, say can you see,
by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched,
were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare,
the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled
banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave!


Never heard the full version attempted yet.

O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bomb bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream,
'Tis the star-spangled banner - O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace may the heav'n rescued land Praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto - "In God is our trust,"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
