GB National Anthem, My favourite articles from media sources.

"... I don't know. Sometimes it would stop raining long enough for the stars to come out. Then it was nice ... It's like just before the sun goes to bed down on the bay, those million sparkles on the water ... Like that mountain lake, it was so clear, Jenny, it looked like two skies, one on top of the other. And then in the desert when the sun comes up, I couldn't tell where heaven started and the earth begun. It's so beautiful ... Jenny."
