Puts people in perfect patriotic posture...
     

Bought it this morning... listened to it a dozen times already. This is a beautiful arrangement from one of the most entertaining singing groups today. Honestly, I welled with tears the first few times I listened to it.

This song, particularly, would have been so much better done in a traditional manner. Kind of like you did "Carol of the Bills" at Christmas.
Straight up. Maybe with a little bit of a chaser ; )
