Each year I accompany the choir in a Veterans Concert. The songs are almost all WWI or WWII vintage (e.g., Tipperary). We’d like to add some more recent ones, but they all seem to be protest songs (particularly Nam era).
Can anyone recommend some good patriotic ones?
Thanks.

Nothing comes immediately to mind but I bet you’d get more responses in the off topics forum.

I here you....and I hate it.

Anyway.....this one immediately came to mind:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5WJJVSE_BE

Although I truly appreciate the sentiment of the song (especially during that era) and it's intention I wonder if most nowadays would find the lyrics self serving or cheezy.
I haven't heard that song since that era until this moment.
This one may not grab you but it got me to thinking.

If I have any epiphany to impart I come back....

Yes, a bit on the cheesy side (although this version alone has over 8 million views!).
There must be some better songs!

Chuckle....my neurons aren't having any success.
I was part of that era and have a quite bitter taste about it all.

I know I couldn't sing those lyrics.
Recognizing it's had the 8mil views it's probably a song that should remain in that era. smile

Good luck.....

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
