You're a Grand Old Flag

For some reason YT won’t save the title and description I keep typing in.

This is the classic patriotic anthem by George M. Cohan.

Gosh I have not thought about this song for years. I actually looked up the history - there is a Wiki for it - and it turns out what we know as the song is actually the chorus - the verses are a little crazy lol - the chorus is definitely the best part. So nice to hear this in a folk style as opposed the usual marching band kind of style. Your gentle delivery is really pretty and highlights the wonderful lyrics.

Thanks, @sheslin ! I saw that too and had the same takeaway about the verses. :rofl: Thank you for listening and commenting. :two_hearts:

im no flagwaver in whatever country i happen to be in, but i enjoy the nostalgic return to the patriotic era in america, and george cohan wrote some of its most memorable songs. you do a fine job of ressurrecting it , keeping it in the folk canon of the great american songbook.
