" America The Beautiful" If one despairs of the current state of affairs, remember the words of Katherine Lee Bates, written after visiting Pikes Peak & inspiring her to write 
   America, America, God shed his grace on thee
  And crown thy good  WITH BROTHERHOOD 
  From sea to shining sea. 
   Listen to a marvellous musical hymn to the original dream of America. Ruby Braff's cornet is like a modern day Gabriel , soaring majestically over Dick Hyman's pipe organ.
Braff was a direct descendant of Louis Armstrong and he sounds like the young
 Armstrong at his most powerful playing. 
 I always get a musical thrill  no matter how
 many times I hear this inspirational song.
