When he lived in Europe for several years, July 4 and Thanksgiving were his favorite days. He missed America then. I miss it now, and I miss him terribly, but am grateful he did not live to see what a mess this nation has become.

Thank you for posting this piece. It is sacred in my home.

I really loved this. I always got goosebumps when playing it, we all did. A remarkable piece of music presented in a wonderful way.

Thanks for this.
