I was searching my vast cassette tape library this morning and would
you believe I have a Kate Smith tape "An American Legend". I must
have bought it a garage sale or at a pig sale (aka flea market).

I'm playing it now on my vintage cassette deck. No "God Bless
America" song is on this album. Other classics are though.

You're right. Kate Smith lives on and on and on.
