Francis Scott Key - And Where Is That Band

Francis Scott Key - And Where Is That Band I portray Francis Scott Key, author of the Star Spangled Banner, through his poems, songs & stories I do a live impersonation of Francis Scott Key.

Also create new musical settings for his lesser known poems and lyrics. My CD is "Francis Scott Key: Songs from the Author of the Star Spangled Banner" by And Where Is That Band. Francis Scott Key wrote poetry his entire life, yet is remembered today for a single verse that's become almost cliche. I bring to life his nearly forgotten work, which ranges from practical to frivolous, humorous to sacr

ed, and romantic to patriotic. I have several program options, from several musical arrangements of the Star-Spangled Banner to an hour of Francis Scott Key poetry and prose, some to music, including 2 versions of the story of the Star Spangle Banner in Key's own words.

Spent the 250th with the VFW and good folks in New Richmond Ohio. It was hot, so I tried to buy a cooling vest, but none in stock. So I bought tubing, a siphon bulb pump, an ice chest, and a tee shirt. It was cool !
