    Really? No one else to thank Giuseppe for this fine rendition of our national anthem?
    Let me be the first to thank you for this beautiful arrangement.

    I even stood up while listeneing to it...Good job...

    One thing that irks me is to hear the Anthem performed different than it was written at a lot of sporting events....They have to put a lot of SOUL IN IT....

    Ah yes, "To Anacreon in Heaven." Classic!

    Been playin' this on the mando for a while now. When playing my e-mando I throw a lot of bends and stuff in it, quasi-Hendrixian in spirit.

    It's remarkable how much togetherness such an anthem can create if played right.

    As always, Guiseppe, a beautiful arrangement played to perfection. When you post these performances, I always get swept up into a session of listening to one YouTube of yours after another. Tonight I went on to Alturas followed by Another Brick in the Wall, then Hotel California. Your playing is addicting.

    Do you have any CDs out? If so, where can we purchase them?

    Thanks very much for this and all your postings.

    Best wishes,

    Bob

    Wonderfully played, as always, Giuseppe. I look forward to your videos each time. You have done justice to our national anthem.
