Little Break for the National Anthem
Suddenly, for no real reason whatsoever, I’m in the mood for the national anthem.
Long, long ago, I wrote of the amazing version of Opie Gone Bad’s Jake Schroeder singing the national anthem before the Colorado Avalanche home games. Now, through the magic of YouTube, here’s Jake.
Unfortunately, the sound isn’t the best, but it gives a good idea of his voice--and maybe a good idea of why I get a little misty when he sings it. I’ve heard him do it quite a few times and there wasn’t once where I doubted the depth of his respect for the song, his belief in its words.
A little Opie Gone Bad in the extended entry for the curious--and the sound is significantly better.
