Some Peeps still seem to be whistling 'Dixie'...

ON this date in 1931 - The "Star Spangled Banner," written by Francis Scott Key, was adopted as the American national anthem.

The song was originally a poem known as "Defense of Fort McHenry."

It would be years before this song would stick w/ Virginian-born 'Johnny Rebs' Bun Man and Mr. Purple, they had been whistling Dixie for quite some time...
