The Stars Yet Wave

I was watching my previously recorded Law & Order when I had to take a snack break. It happened to be on TV the preface of the NASCAR Nextel Cup in Homestead, Florida.

Some guy sings the national anthem at the event commencement. I didn't know they do that at car racing openings. There was something about the man's voice that so deeply touched me that i was a little choked up. (Actually, hearing The Star-Spangled Banner always gets me a little emotional.)

Must be some poor sap who couldn't make it in show biz, i thought.

Then i stepped out of my kitchen to take a peek. It was Taylor Hicks.

"Do I Make You Proud?" He has descanted.

The answer is a resounding yes, Taylor.
