anthem?

What was up with JT? I like the guy and his usual stuff, but that was bad. I couldn't figure out what the heck he was doing with the guitar. Sounded like he had a 4/4 thing going on, but it needed more practice.

That wasn't JT. That was Roger Whittaker in a peel off rubber mask.

The low notes were shaky but his tenor is so beautiful that he could sing a Chinese menu is 6/8 and I would enjoy it.

Ah man! I thought this was a RUSH thread. :crap:

I gotta think it has to be pretty hard to play that on a guitar.

Ever notice the striking resemblence JT has to a certain RS?
Twizzelers for Carly Simon yo?

I missed the beginning of the game. But what was up with Boys 2 Men and their performance?

First, the name hasn't aged well. Shouldn't they be calling themselves "Men 2 Middle Agez" or something to that effect? And as my wife commented, where was the melody? Yawn.

an easy song to sing.

I heard Sandy once sing it. Or should I say, try to sing it. Sounded more like the shower scene in Pyscho. I was clutching my heart in terror.

JT did better, considering.

My wife and I thought JT looked like George Washington in profile...

[Blue Jays]

We're talking about Joe Lynn Turner, former lead singer of Rainbow and later Deep Purple, right?

Wait just one cotton-pickin' second! Everyone went to the sold-out John Travolta show without me!

C'mon, Eric, the real anthem in that situation is "Dirty Water". I'da thought youz wouldda known dat already :banana:

[spiderman]

that was the best rendition of the ssb
either of us has EVER heard.
i have sung the anthem solo, in 4 parts, etc
anywhere from a rodeo to a baseball game.
i have never heard it with guitar
as a folk song,
but i loved it.
i would like to hear what jt
would put together
if he had the liberty to make the ssb truly his own...

Anyone remember a few years ago when the White Sox were in the WS? Aaron Neville sang, and it was terrible, just sort of spineless whimpering (the man needs a band to make him GET ON WITH IT, otherwise he seems to get lost in melismaland from one note to the next.

A better memory from that series was Lou Rawls in Chicago. He sang what I think was one of the best anthems I've ever heard. Just beautiful. I always appreciate it when it's delivered by someone who doesn't try to do too much. Quit showing off. Buy me dinner (or at least get through 4 bars) before you go and get all pentatonic.

Which Jim are you talking about? I see William in the crowd...
