Happy 4th of July!

This is Chief Petty Officer Barbara (Bobbi) Croft singing the national anthem prior to the Norfolk Admiral's hockey game on Friday, March 21, 3008. Bobbi is my youngest sister.

She said there was a problem with the microphone at the beginning, and added "I adapted and overcame." You go, girl!

Star Spangled Banner - Cactus Cuties

Over the next few days leading up to the 4th of July, I'll be posting some videos of our National Anthem, Star Spangled Banner.

This is a group that has been described as a YouTube phenomenon, The Cactus Cuties. The harmony in this song is absolutely outstanding. I'll be posting another version by this group next week.
