A little patriotic music for Veterans Day

NORFOLK, Va. — Here’s a patriotic tune from sax player Talton Manning, an Old Dominion University student who took a request a few days ago while he was busking in the Ghent neighborhood.

Manning was the subject of a recent column by Mike Gruss of The Virginian-Pilot. Want to read more about Gruss via a Belligerent Q&A? Click here.

Many thanks to Manning.

Happy Veterans Day.

A little music for your Independence Day


Here’s hoping your Independence Day is healthy, happy, and safe.

And that we remember those who are serving us at home and abroad.

And maybe sing a little, too.

Thanks to a few folks who lent their talents to this video.
