    Erving Berlin sure could write a tune.

    Happy 4th, Moe.

      ACtually I tried to find a version with good audio and couldn’t, so went with my second choice. Either of them is better than the current “who the hell can sing that thing” one.

    Ms. Holland ,

    I would pay to see you defend God Bless America against your friends, were it to ever have a serious chance of becoming the national anthem .

    Kate Smith is great .

      I don’t think they’d have a problem – they’re not godless like me and even so, in that context it doens’t really bother me much. Perhaps because Irving Berlin was the quintessential Amercian songmeister?
