The Star-Spangled Banner on a Gayageum

Luna Lee is a Korean musician who specializes in traditional Korean instruments. She's a world-acclaimed master of the gayageum, a stringed instrument somewhat similar to a large European zither. In the past, we've featured her version of Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4" and AC/DC's "Thunderstruck."

Yesterday's Memorial Day commemorations may put my fellow Americans in a patriotic mood, so it is appropriate that Lee recorded a performance of our majestic national anthem.

This is not Lee's first performance of The Star-Spangled Banner. Two weeks ago, she had the honor of playing it before the start of a White Sox baseball game.
