Dear Wendy
Does the Star Spangled Banner become trivialized when you are informed that 
it originates with a British drinking song?  In other words, is it the 
intrinsic meoldy that's the problem or the handicap that you and I share in 
that we know the origin of some of our favorite tunes and they are indeed 
quite humble!
