Native American Songbird Scheduled to Sing National Anthem March 23, 2011 After Christina Aguilera's slaughter of the National Anthem the TY Murray Invitational was cautious in selecting their next National Anthem singer for their sold out event.

The Star Spangled Banner is sung at just about every major American function, and at major sporting events a significant honor is bestowed on those asked to sing what is probably the best known national anthem in the world. Listen closely to the words and it tells of a highly emotional moment in US history when the war with the British was being fought and of one man's relief in seeing the US flag still flying after a vicious bombardment.
