Oh Say Can You See |
by C. Carson Parks |
An obvious “take-off” from the “National
Anthem”, (Sousa got away with it!), but I guess I wanted to see how far out I
could take it. I was doing some fast picking, as I recall, and it was tough
getting breath, singing, and picking at the tempo I wanted. Aside from the
opener, the line I most like is “..by the dawn’s early light, you come home
every night.” I don’t know where these ideas come from, but if I knew, I’d have
all the hits, and nobody else would have any. I think my mind is okay, but maybe
I need a second opinion! My Dad was a “shrink”, but he’s the “late lamented”,
which might be a good thing!
