Anyone ever seen the tape of the 1964 Republican Convention with the long intro before Goldwater spoke?
Great rendition of "Battle Hymn".
Last year during Reagan's funeral when the casket was being brought to the Capitol rotunda, "Battle Hymn" played along with the cannon's going off -- dammit that's what I call moving.
"The Battle Hymn of the Republic" has always been a favorite of mine. But I didn't know before I saw the PBS special that it was written to the tune of "John Browns Body" Heck, I hadn't even heard of "John Browns Body" before the show. Once I heard it and learned the history of the song, I fell in love with it also.
