Well, I can add a new item to my resume. The Hopkinsville Hoppers - TopicsExpress



          

Well, I can add a new item to my resume. The Hopkinsville Hoppers baseball team had a doubleheader with the Madisonville Tradewater Pirates today. They were not planning on having the National Anthem played prior to the first game. That’s un-American. I called them and reminded them that I was on their reserve singers list. I was told to meet the PA person by 4:45, so I walked to Tiger Field at Hopkinsville High School (about 2-3 miles from my little home). At 5:00, they handed me the mic and I sang the Anthem according to military protocol: in the key of Bb at a steady tempo of 80 beats per minutes, slowing down to 76 BPM at the end. I admit there were a couple of intonation issues, but I did not transition into nearby keys, even though I was singing acapella. After I sang the Banner, I walked hom. (By the way, HopTown beat Madisonville 5-4 in the first game.)
