RE: Superbowl; Rossini; and Marcellus

To me, the Super Bowl is about as "all-American" as you can get (emphasis on "American" sporting event). I'm probably the only one who noticed but as for the patriotic openers I was none too happy to see a "non-American" sing "God Bless America"; although Ms. Dion was wonderful. And from a musical standpoint, I don't know who penned the Dixie Chicks' acapella arrangement of the National Anthem (maybe THEY did) but their harmonies were so tightly voiced you could barely distinguish the melody! I've seen those gals in concert and each one of them sport a 3-octave+ range; if they had a label/staff arranger write it they didn't come close to doing them justice ... oh well, they got the primo gig and I play in smoky, smelly lounges and show 12-year olds how to suck the spit out of their horns ... <;-D
