Happy Birthday America

The following rendition of the American National Anthem was given on Feb 9th, at the Texas Tech University Basketball game this year. It is sung by five young girls (ages 6 to 8). Knowing how challenging this song is to sing, this is a must see and a must listen. It is interesting to notice that the entire arena is silent during the performance.

I cannot offer you anything other than music. All the Founding Fathers are long since dead. America's true patriots are fast turning into anachronisms or corpses. Its soldiers are either in despair over their unhealed emotional and mental injuries or so savagely brutal as to make the Eisatzgruppen and EinsatzKommandos of the SS look tame. That is saying a great deal.

Ah! Yes. Only Hope is left. Philosophers and savants tell us Hope is always the last to die. Perhaps that is why this National Anthem sung by future Mothers of their Country is so moving. In spite of everything: good,b ad and ugly let us all say in a loud chorus"God Save America. God Bless America."

I cannot resist saying this as well. Americans! Get off your backsides!
