Mr. National Anthem Improviser!! |

Bless you, Randi Rhodes. That was great! And it speaks to a gripe that I have with some performers of our anthem - even at the convention.

DeDe Wynan's rendition of the national anthem was the best I have ever heard. It was actually musical, in his range (except a little out on the low end), and inspirational.
Normally, I agree that performers who "stylize" the national anthem do not add anything and, in most cases, detract from it by doing so but DeDe's version ranks up there with Ray Charles's "America the Beautiful" (which I would prefer as our anthem).
