Our National Anthem rendered properly

If you're tired of hearing our national anthem being
  destroyed almost every time it's sung by the       
                                                       
  current crop of pin headed egomaniac pop artists,   
  then you will seriously appreciate…..this version                                                        
  of only 1 1/2 minutes sung by a group of youngsters
  known as “Dave's Highway”.                         
                                                       
                                                         
  No instruments, no microphones, no special effects! 
                                                       
  Just 3 young siblings (Erika, Delaney, and Zachary) 
  singing the anthem as originally written, right in                                                      
  their own living room.   read more

Yes, once buried they had to dig it up because they buried the wrong log. They have been getting along ever since then and that was 1986. read more
