Yeah, that's what they're saying. What would something like that sound like?

Well we can only listen through a cell phone, but you can still hear that "growl" at 00:58.

Would love to hear it in person. BTW, I didn't care for the extra chords and all in this version at first, but it has grown on me.

It would sound better if the rhythm section was a lower volume from the melody. I'm not sure if that can be done with that. I am also not a fan of anyone doing that song any way other than the way it was written. Un patriotic to me. That's just me and your mileage may vary.

Interesting. Thanks. I have a T-Bird bass guitar that I thought was the biggest. Feels like it on stage. Like playing your grandmother's coffee table. No wonder I have shoulder problems now.

I understand what you're saying Jim. I was looking at it from an organist viewpoint, loosing sight of the fact that it is our National Anthem. Here is a more traditional version on a similar organ.....

I played a few brooms, a tennis racket and some air guitar but never grandmas coffee table. I bet your shoulders are hurting.
