Re "The Star-Spangled Banner:" if drinking Englishmen can sing "To
Anacreon in Heaven," why can't Americans (sober or otherwise :->) sing
"The Star-Spangled Banner?"

BTW--I once saw a sign-off tape with a nifty arrangement of "S-SB." The
video showed various scenes of American history. The portion of the
tune corresponding to "And the rocket's red glare" etc.  was repeated
with some of the seamier side of the nation (Teapot Dome, Watergate,
etc.) being shown, with the following harmonization:

	And the rocket's red glare/The bombs bursting in air
		Bb	     Gm7	     Bb		 AbM7

	Gave proof through the night...
	     Gm		       Dm

and then back to the traditional arrangement (and shots of the space
program). If anyone knows of a recording with this arrangement, I'd
*GREATLY* appreciate hearing about it.
