6/14/22 BONUS: National Anthem Performances, 1905-2021

In conjunction with the interview with Mark Clague, author of "O Say Can You Hear? - A Cultural Biography of the Star Spangled Banner," I have assembled an array of recordings featuring some notable performances of our national anthem. These recordings/performances range from the 1905 recording by opera singer Emma Eames (the first known recording of the Star Spangled Banner) to Lady Gaga's performance of it for Joe Biden's presidential inauguration in 2021. Included is Jimi Hendrix's iconic performance from Woodstock, which helped inspire Professor Clague to do extensive research on the anthem and its history.
