          OH SAY CAN YOU SING?

   It's Wednesday, March 3rd. It's 

National Anthem Day!" It commemorates \

the day in 1931 when the government

officially adopted The Star Spangled

Banner as our National Anthem. The

song originally written by Francis Scott

Key as a poem. Over the years there have

been some who suggest it is difficult to

sing and should be replaced by some other

tune. Possible American The Beautiful. That

is, indeed, a beautiful song but I personally

prefer the Star Spangled Banner. Canada

changed its national anthem. When I was

growing up the Canadian anthem was The

Maple Leaf Forever. Then, some years back,

that was replaced by Oh Canada. Up that

way the anthem is sung in both English

and Frence. I can understand the English.

Of course over the past few years I've heard

some very big recording stars sing our National

Anthem which have been hard to understand

even though they're in English. Think I prefer

the renditions offered by a military bank.In any

case it's National nthem Day, a day to remember

for which it stands and, I hope you stand for it!

Hope you're also well and that all your NEWS

is good!
