“ If you have a soft spot for pretty women wielding a Les Paul guitar cranking out high-voltage riffs that give you an instant rush, than you can add Deborah Magone’s Alternate Realities to your playlist. Magone wastes no time in announcing her entrance in to the blues rock world. ”

“" I get CD's from many major blues labels on a regular basis. Also Americana artists. ..... Alternate Realities ROCKS & the acoustic tunes are soulful & pretty. ..... the best CD I have received in a long, long time. " ”

An American patriotic song " AMERICA The BEAUTIFUL " was once considered for the US national anthem. It's my preferred anthem. I was inspired to create this video the week before 4th of July 2020. America was spiraling in to despair during the Covid pandemic of 2020 with no national leadership, protests in the streets, hundreds of thousands of Americans sick & dying horrific, lonely deaths leaving millions of family members behind, tens of millions unemployed, small businesses closing their doors forever.
Performing this song & creating this video was therapy for me. I hope it might be that for You as well. " The lyrics were written by Katharine Lee Bates, and the music was composed by church organist and choirmaster Samuel A. Ward . The two never met. First published in 1910 and titled "America the Beautiful". The song is one of the most popular of the many U.S. patriotic songs. " - Wikipedia
