Well Ron, I gotta admit that while the following artist did that coloratura thing just a couple of times here(remember, earlier I said they're "allowed" only two o' those in my proposed "law" ) I still think a pre-screwed up Whitney Houston here did about as thrilling a rendition of our National Anthem before Super Bowl XLVI in 1991 as I've ever heard!

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
