The heat is still on. It won’t break below 100 until November. I go from my air conditioned apartment to my air conditioned car to my air conditioned destination.

Real Men Stand for Our National Anthem!
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!
"The Star Spangled Banner" Verse Four (Click)
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Please let me know by Freepmail if you would like to be admitted to or released from my music ping list.

This is the original melody. It was the theme song of London's Anacreontic Society, a drinking club. There were also gentlemen's clubs like the Wig Club and the Hellfire Society, but we don't mention their activities in front of the fairer sex.
Its subject matter is a debate between Bacchus and Anacreon, and it ran for an interminable 12 verses. This is a mercifully cut down version. You can imagine the members chafing at hearing this song when they could be imbibing.
It's in 3/4 minuet tempo -- one-and-two-and-three-and- -- and our modern version removes the weak beats, dotting the strong beats. The fourths were sharpened for our modern version.
"To Anacreon in Heaven"

That’s a great version of “To Anachreon in Heaven.” The harpsichord accompaniment is very appropriate.
