Yes, I enjoy the singing of Mr. Tynan! One of the best things to happen to the USA was right after 9-11 at the opening of a NYC baseball game, when Mr. Tynan sang the entire song, "God Bless America" by Berlin--including the recitative like intro part which most Americans had never heard 'till then. Naturally, the crowd went nuts.
   I got out my old 78rpm of Der Bingle & had my neices & nephews play it. They were amazed. They all said it gave much more meaning to the song. I was glad they noticed.
