4. James Taylor also sang “America the Beautiful” in his nicest fleece.

Seriously though, this is a very nice version! Taylor made the song his own to the degree where you could just hear a few notes of the guitar and know it was him playing.

      Whenever these songs are performed really well, I can’t help but focus on the positive of this great country. My glass is half full today.

      is it just me or does everyone wonder why a national anthem has to be “done” and not sung? it’s not your anthem…it belongs to everyone in the country and should be sung respectfully. it’s not a vocal exercise!
