Put the Star-Spangled Banner at the top of my list. I like the Battle
Hymn of the Republic a lot.
The hymns of the services would have to be on my list too.
Grand Old flag and America the Beautiful, for sure.
God Bless America is a must. Remember Kate Smith belting it out?
Stars and Stripes Forever is a good one.
In fact, most of J.P. Sousa's catalogue could find a spot on my list. If
it's played with gusto by a military-type band, almost anything could
make the list.
Even though I'm only a distant fraction Irish, I love Irish songs. I've
enjoyed Galway Bay since I was a small boy and some singer whose name
escapes me put out a recording of it that was played often on the radio.
Irish songs are great for singing in the shower. Too-ra loo ra loo RAH!
