" 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.
