British Connection at the Inauguration Ceremony?

Posted by youthworktalk | Posted in British Stuff | Posted on 22-01-2009

My lovely wife thought that because I am British, I would not be interested in the Inauguration ceremony. However, I was very intrigued when I heard Aretha Franklin singing ‘My Country Tis of Thee’ to the tune of the British National Anthem. Anyone know the roots of how that came to be?
