Title: National Anthem
Post by: PigPen on May 23, 2012, 09:24:04 AM

My SLY brethren, as many of you know, I love to sing. I have had the honor and privilege to sing our National Anthem twice for the local men's college basketball team. I have auditioned numerous times to sing for our local AAA baseball team and been turned down, until this year. I didn't get a definite yes, but it wasn't a no either! I'm basically on standby when they need me. Got a letter stating they will let me know when they need me. They make the decision about who will singing before each homestand, so it's a hurry up and wait deal, but that's alright, I'll take it!

Then yesterday I received an email from the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta asking me to sing the National Anthem at Balloon Fiesta this year! Very excited about it!

Awesome Pig.  That's exciting enough to finally make me get my butt out, if just to hear our Anthem sung by someone who will put true feeling into it.
