You’re a Grand Old Flag
And We Celebrate You With Your Very Own Day.
by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 06/11/2017
You’re a grand old flag. You’re a high flying flag.
And forever in peace may you wave.
You’re the emblem of – the land I love,
The home of the free and the brave.
Every heart beats true for the red white and blue,
Where there’s never a boast or brag.
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
This was one of those patriotic toe-tappers you learned as
a kid in the school chorus. Just thought I’d put it out there
as your earworm of the week in honor of Flag Day. Yes,
Flag Day actually has a theme song.
"You're a Grand Old Flag", by George M. Cohan in 1906, was inspired by a Civil War
veteran – an acquaintance who held a carefully folded but ragged old flag. Cohan's
friend reportedly told him, "She's a grand old rag." Cohan then worked that thought
into the opening line of his hit song.
Music such as Cohan's "You're a Grand Old Flag"
helped create a shared popular cultural identity
as such songs spread beyond the stage, through
sheet music and records, to the homes and street
corners of America. It was the first song from a
musical to sell over a million copies of sheet
music, and one of the most popular songs of the
day that launched the early recording industry.
And forever in peace may she wave.
And – thanks for watching!

P.S: Franklin●TV’s annual open board meeting for all Franklin residents is this

23 Hutchinson Street and learn all about your local TV channels.
Our Annual Open Board Meeting
by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 05/21/2017
The time has come once again for our annual open board meeting. This year our
meeting is set for Thursday, June 15th at 7:00pm and is open to all. If you would like
to be involved in Franklin●TV just send an email to: [email protected] with your
contact information. You can also call us for more information. 508-541-4118.
This meeting is an opportunity to tour and learn about Franklin●TV’s studio. Our
facility enables us to provide full production support for Franklin residents and
organizations who wish to create TV programs. It’s also an opportunity to meet our
current board and staff. Our progress to date, plus all the groundwork for our plans
going forward are all thanks to our board members who contribute their time and
energy to help make Franklin●TV everything that a public access TV studio can be
and more. At our open meeting we customarily cast votes for new and renewing
board positions. This year there will be a vote by all in attendance to reaffirm those
board members and terms of their office on the current board as voted and accepted
at last year’s open member meeting held on June 15, 2016. We will also vote for a
new board member to replace retiring board member Nick Remissong.
Excerpt from FCCA bylaws: (Available on our website.)

Meet Our Current FCCA Board
L to R: W. Ken Norman, John Milot, Nick
Remissong, Anne K. Bergen, Jay Horrigan,
Rose Turco, and Wesley Rea.
Please join us at our Franklin●TV event.
Starting at 6:00pm we’ll have tours of our
facility, some good eats, and you can meet
our board and staff. Meeting begins at
7:00pm. Come meet, greet, and learn all
about local TV in Franklin.
And – thanks for watching!
