Show Our National Air In reading accounts of the yacht races I noticed that the English bands could not play an American national air because be-cause God Save the Queen and America were the sama I have never found the reason why The Star Spangled Span-gled Banner should not be our national na-tional air I have heard them all played play-ed by the best bands in the country and there is none which sends a thrill of gratitude at being an American through me so as that grand finale And the star spangled banner in triumph does wave Oer tho land of tho free and the homo of tho brave Carlos in Boston Traveler |
