Irving Berlin certainly was a true patriotic genius. Thank you, Debra, for providing access to his surprisingly fine tenor voice. Another of his songs from this movie humorously describes what a soldier would face upon answering the bugler: "This is the Army Mr. Jones, no private rooms or telephones, you had your breakfast in bed before, but you won't have it there anymore!"

Debra, a PERFECT song to accompany this week's Word of the Week. What a genius, and though the Fates decreed that I was never to be in THAT august company, I am certainly grateful that I can recognize and appreciate genius when I see and/or hear it:)
