Do we get to sing the national anthem at Billy Bobs?
Ohhhhh say can youuu seeeeeeeeee, by the dawns early light,
So prouudly we stand, and the ferr blerr mumble blahh...
Der derrr der derrer der der der derr DER der der der,
Of the llaaand of the free, and home of the brave.
What? That's how everyone else sings it.

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-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!
Francis Scott Key (1779 - 1843)
Son, it's Billy Bob's not a ball game. How 'bout we sing this little ditty?
Texas, Our Texas Written by William J. Marsh and Gladys Yoakum Wright
Composed by William J. Marsh
Texas, Our Texas! all hail the mighty State!
Texas, Our Texas! so wonderful so great!
Boldest and grandest, withstanding ev'ry test
O Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest.
Texas, O Texas! your freeborn single star,
Sends out its radiance to nations near and far,
Emblem of Freedom! it set our hearts aglow,
With thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo.
Texas, dear Texas! from tyrant grip now free,
Shines forth in splendor, your star of destiny!
Mother of heroes, we come your children true,
Proclaiming our allegiance, our faith, our love for you.
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
"Texas, Our Texas," the official state song of Texas, was adopted by the Texas Legislature in 1929.

FMZ -
Thanks. I've got it now

Princess, there's a Starbucks at The Crescent now, so you won't have to jog far for your morning latte! When you come out of the front of The Bradford, jog left and follow the traffic around to the left and you'll see The Crescent rising up like a graceful French chateau. Just go straight into the courtyard area and to the far end (by Maple Street) and you'll see Starbucks on the northeast side of the courtyard, on the hotel side. (The tall building on the south side of the courtyard is actually three office buildings all connected. I work in the 300 Building, which is closest to Cedar Springs.) It's new, so the staff is a LITTLE slow (I think they need to drink more of their product), but it's all good.
See you next week!
Love,
Nina
Hey Arrow...
Maybe I'll come up a day early, and I can go with you to pick up that FMZ guy... I'm sure he would like two hot chicks to pick him up, eh? <------ Canadian touch added.
