Van Cliburn’s rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner is waxed upon in a rather uncharacteristic gushing manner by Fort Worth Star-Telegram columnist Bud Kennedy in today’s paper.
I was going to post a YouTube video of Cliburn playing the national anthem, but I couldn’t find one.
So check out versions by these musicians and vocalists with Fort Worth roots:
THE DIXIE CHICKS HARMONIZE LIKE ANGELS BEFORE SUPER BOWL IN 2003
HOMETOWN GIRL KELLY CLARKSON GETS OFF TO ROUGH START BUT BRINGS IT HOME WITH STYLE
A GORGEOUS STRAIGHTFORWARD VERSION BY JEWEL
LEANN RIMES GETS TWANGY WID IT
COOL VERSION BY GUITAR PLAYING WHIZ KID JOSHUA LANTRIP AND ERIC SERRANO
THIS 13-YR-OLD KID’S VERY PLEASANT SAXOPHONE VERSION AT FW DOG SHOW STILL MAKES ‘EM HOWL
TEXAS BOYS CHOIR DOES IT QUITE PROPER AT THE MODERN MUSEUM (AND WHAT’S UP WITH THAT RED-HEADED KID WAY OFF TO THE LEFT?)
SHERAN KEYTON’S BOMBASTIC APPROACH AT FW MUSEUM (AKA IT’S HARD TO COVER YOUR HEART AND EARS AT SAME TIME)

Suprised you missed this one Jeff. It’s the most gut wretching, goose-bump popping, tear jerking rendition of the National Anthem…bar none.

Damn…no matter how many times I see that…still makes me teary. As long as you’re posting these…you might as well post the best.

Joel: I was only posting Fort Worth-area artists. The Cactus Cuties are Lubbock based. But those girls can really sing.
