Keep Your Eye On the Grand Old Flag!

Song Sketch




I hope that if you are celebrating Memorial Day, you have a wonderful one!  


And if not, I hope you have a lovely Monday.  


And if you're on the other hemisphere, I hope you had a lovely Monday.


And, to all, have a completely amazing week!

And for Memorial Day...

There are a bunch of marvelously written songs from the early 1900s that have patriotic themes. Possibly the most prolific patriotic songwriter, George M. Cohan, used riffs from military taps and folk songs to create new and contagious music. And as I'm feeling rather patriotic this year, I thought I'd record one! So, here is You're A Grand Old Flag.
