America's Songs of Inspiration & Patriotism ! - 09/15/01 12:09 PM
Since last Tuesday's horrific terrorist attacks, I have been including a HEALTHY dose of American patriotic songs in my performances. This includes audience participation (sing-along) songs of the Star Spangled Banner, God Bless America, and America The Beautiful. Believe me, not a single dry eye is left in the house after these songs are performed. Music is a powerful tool in helping us heal the deep wounds which were inflicted upon us. As musicians, we are given the unique opportunity to help heal and unite our fellow countrymen and friends around the world with music. Other popular songs of inspiration & patriotism I perform are: This is My Country, This Land Is My Land, Imagine, What The World Needs Now Is Love, Battle Hymn Of The Republic, and God Bless the USA. I'm interested in hearing what other songs are being performing during this most challenging time.
Here are links to the chords and lyrics to the following songs:
