hook and half Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Before the finals, the crowd rose for the National Anthem. And then....nothing. It looked as if technical difficulties would prevent the playing of the tape. Sometimes in America, someone steps into the breach. This guy strolled out of the stands like he owned the place, and proceeded to own the place. tyandky, momfan, 1prouddad and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1prouddad Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 It blew the crowd away. I'm glad I was there to witness this. He's from Union County and I went to shake his hand and thanked him. baron15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbarnett Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Sounded even better when you were standing right next to him. Most impressive.... no warm up, he just came right out of the crowd and lit it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrokenTowelRack Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Was certainly better than the Al Smith's National Anthem singer, who failed to get the words right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hook and half Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Raynel "Ray-Ray" Brown sent me a message. The mystery singer is Ray-Ray's dad. According to RR, Mr. Brown's voice was a little hoarse from all the yelling he had done previously to the rendition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
