My temptation is to say no, he doesn't but I recognize that I have seemed 'snippy', so I'll ask: Example, please?  |

His rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner" a few minutes ago. Probably the best I've heard.

I liked it myself, and I hate the "Star Spangled Banner." |

Missed it. I've heard him do it before, and he does a very nice, understated version.
Whitney Houston ruined it IMHO, just because every no-talent beauty queen wannabe from St. Petersburg to Seattle feels compelled to 'show off' her own overblown version, generally at some short track I'm at that evening.

Just wondering how that would sound in the style of contemporary adult folk  |

This is my absolute favorite rendition. It was lip-synched, but who gives a rat's ass? |

Ya know - you can bash Whitney all ya want, but I LOVED that anthem she belted out! And kiss my ass if you want to give me chit about it!
However the best anthem I've heard was from a Chief Petty Officer at a Stl. Cardinals game this summer - that dude freaking rocked. Just wish there was a utube version available. I have witnesses too - the dude just nailed it - bar none, the best I've ever heard!!!

Say what you want about Roseanne, but at least she knew every word of the song. This one was the worst evar! |

Ya know - you can bash Whitney all ya want, but I LOVED that anthem she belted out! And kiss my ass if you want to give me chit about it! My problem isn't with Whitney's version itself, it's with the no talent hacks who try to emulate it. |
