And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
etc. etc.
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Ken, if nothing else, this thread is helping 2nd fiddle improve his internet search skills.
As the violinist said to the bassist,
"I rest my case. You might as well put your bag down now."

ps. Is the line 'home of the brave' referring to a teepee or wigwam? Well, in old cowboy films Indians were divided into chiefs and braves... and, of course, there was always John Wayne.
