For Your Listening Pleasure . . .

I was watching an NFL football game this evening (Dallas v Philadelphia) and I was greeted with an odd feeling of annoyance.  There in the middle of the field was a young lady singing the national anthem. (I just checked yahoo and there were some very "colorful" reviews of her performance)  I didn't hear the crowd but it turns out she was booed, also.  And I can understand why.  I'm not really referring to her singing pre-se but her "poetic license" with the national anthem.  Today, almost every new song has a "dance mix," a "latin mix," a "club mix," etc.  The national anthem is not one of those type of songs.  I'm not suggesting that it be song in a classical or operatic manner but with some class.  It was so stylized I could hardly understand what she was singing.  My suggestion choose singers for ability not popularity.

New ~ Old Hobby

I think I'm going back to an old hobby but with a new sense of direction. So, we will see how that goes. By the way, the hobby is photography. The last picture is my favorite.
