#JulyJazz Day 25: Last year I visited the Philippine booth which proudly showcases the Philippine #Flag during the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair. Husband drove us for 90 minutes (one way) so I can get the book gifted to me by a Filipina American novelist (Ninotchka Rosca) whose books were featured during the fair.
Mr. Key composed a poem upon viewing the flag at Fort McHenry in 1814 that would become the Star Spangled Banner 🎶. This flag now inhabits a dark and mysterious alcove in the Smithsonian in DC approached with awe by those who tiptoe through…

The French wrote this song first by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier, and then Robert Stanley wrote the English version in 1908. #JulyJazz Flag @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
