Independence Day Video Break: A Very Retro 'Star Spangled Banner'

blog |

I wanted to feature an obscure version of the Star Spangled Banner in honor of the 4th of July holiday, and boy did I find one: This rendition, played on a Moog synthesizer, was used as a late-night sign-off for television stations in the 1970s and 80s, when they used to do that kind of thing. Enjoy a trip down memory lane, and have a very happy Independence Day.
