  <title>The National Anthem, A Spiritual Experience.</title>
  <description>GOING DUTCH PODCAST EPISODE 36: The National Anthem, A Spiritual Experience.&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; OH SAY CAN YOU SEE? &amp;amp;nbsp; This question coupled with music is the first line that grabs your attention in The National Anthem. &amp;amp;nbsp; Can you picture it? Francis Scott Key, watching from a ship. He's asking you to envision the picture he's about to paint of his experience on September 13/14, 1814, in The Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; The National Anthem is truly my favorite song. Originally a poem, written after a difficult experience the writer, Francis Scott Key, endured. &amp;amp;nbsp; Before I sing the national anthem, I always take a moment to pray that as I sing every word, those in the audience will feel the experience of Francis Scott Key. I hope to remind the audience what a great place America truly is. &amp;amp;nbsp; My Fourth of July tradition of singing The National Anthem, attending rodeo, talking about freedom, and discussing our ancestors are close to my heart.&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; As you listen to this episode, I've added my rendition of this song to the end. It is my hope that wherever you are on Independence Day, you'll stop and take a moment to listen to this song. Have gratitude in your heart and focus on the blessings of Freedom and the message of hope that even after a great battle, GREAT things still stand! The Flag was still there. &amp;amp;nbsp; Let it wave o'er the land of the&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; FREE &amp;amp;nbsp; And the home of the&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; BRAVE &amp;amp;nbsp; Join me on Instagram: @perfectlyimperfectranda.
