Iconic American Song Reimagined - NBC News

[Rhiannon12866]

The song, “American the Beautiful,” is very special for professional pianist Min Kwon, who moved to the U.S. from South Korea at 13. During the pandemic, Kwon started a project with more than 70 composers to create different versions of the song to fit the many moods of America. She performs them across the nation.

1. Beautiful story

Tugs at the heartstrings on so many levels.

2. It got to me, too.

Despite everything we've endured for the past year(s), we do have a lot to be grateful for in this country so reminders like this are only a good thing.

3. The first one, "sotto vocce", reminds me of Vince Guaraldi's style

The sort of reflective pieces he wrote for "Peanuts" specials.

4. This is how an old geezer leftist gets to come to loving the flag and it's promise all the while ...

... reviling the crap others have wrapped the flag around. When I take a knee, it's not about the flag or the nation, it's about the ethically and morally deficient who play at patriotism.

6. ProFa conservative idiots aren't willing to listen.

Sure, to 'hear the music' one has to listen. So yes, we who are always willing to listen will get it.

The problem is, has been and will always be, that a lot of ProFa conservative idiots aren't willing to listen or they simply tune out anything that requires thinking.


"Thinking is hard, vote TRUMP" was never more true.

7. Kicked and recommended.
