[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
- recently, in honour of Canada Day, the Stumblng Tumblr presented a Joni Mitchell song
- because of the different national sensibilities involved, for American Independence Day, he presents “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee”
- the audio clip and the image above are both from here
- here’s the Wikipedia entry for the song, which tries to glide lightly over the fact that the melody is merely a knockoff of the British national anthem, God Save The King/Queen
- you’ll notice from the record label that the performers are the Billy Sunday Chorus
- here’s Billy’s Wikipedia entry; unfortunately, the chorus doesn’t get a run in it
- Billy’s main claim to fame in the Stumblng Tumblr’s eyes is his inability to shut down Chicago in the 20s: see the song “Chicago (That Toddlin’ Town)”
