Twenty-Five years ? a huge career accomplishment, especially in the music business. Aaron Tippin ? who marks his silver anniversary as a recording artist this year ? admits that he looks at his career longevity with a little bit of amazement. Tippin topped the charts with ?Where The Stars And Stripes And Eagle Fly,? a song that became part of the American soundtrack during the aftermath of 9/11. ?I wanted to talk to Americans about who we are at heart, and the fact that when the going gets tough, that?s when we really stand up. We may have a lot of differences when everything is calm and fine, but when it hits the fan, I think we?re the best in the world at sticking together, and rallying around the cause. That song served that purpose very well. I wanted us to be proud as Americans, and get back on with living free.? The Freeman Stage at Bayside is proud to present Aaron Tippin on September 11th as part of our support of the Operations Seas the Day program.
