How NOT to play the National Anthem

The Best Southwest Chamber of Commerce luncheon in south suburban Dallas March 26 featured a “soul” version of the Star Spangled Banner, except played on a soprano sax rather than sung.

I’m not sure how much of it was a soul version played that badly for a soul version, and how much of it was an attempt to play a soul version that came off that badly as an attempt.

And, it clearly broke the 2-minute mark on the long side.

Just play it, or sing it, as written.
