I am not going to get into any politics in this thread. Hopefully it is not taken as political when I wish everyone a Happy Independence Day. I am going to include renditions of the National Anthem and God Bless America by an absolutely amazing Gospel singer, Willa Dorsey. When I hear the National Anthem and God Bless America, I'm almost always somewhere from one end to the other and in between of: wow, that really sucked, or wow, that was good. Willa is in a special category, a special category of where you can 'feel it", you not only hear, but see the passion, heart and emotion in her songs. Willa will bring goose bumps to your skin, water up your eyes with her renditions. I thank the good Lord for Blessing this planet with WIlla's 75 years of life on it. I only wish she could have lived to see 100+. I truly believe her beautiful, amazing voice is in Heaven bringing true beauty to those who have made it there.

Moderators, I hope you leave this in this forum, I will be disappointed if you move it. If you do move this thread, I also understand you have a job to do.

Happy Independence Day everyone:

Right here is my newest favorite rendition of our nation's song. I love how it is just the singer and his guitar backing up his voice.



God bless you and John always!!!

I have always thought that “ago d Bless America” should be our national anthem.
