There’s one camera, a close-up on me, which they’ll be streaming on Fox’s YouTube channel. Have you had conversations with the NFL about making sure the camera captures your performance in a way that honors your work better? That’s my personal art form, as a visual performer. I’m adding a little salt and pepper that will make it even more poetic, even more delicious. But after I made the decision, I did a lot of research and analysis that really helped me get a better understanding of the author’s intention. It’s very poetic when you sign songs, but it’s a challenge to get the timing and the rhythm to sync up with the singers. And music’s not really my thing - but of course I love sign language. Well, I have a lot of issues with the camera framing not really getting the signing and some of the politics behind it. I feel extremely honored to be here in my hometown. I was on the fence for about two weeks and then I learned that it was my hometown that was hosting the Super Bowl, so I said, “Hell yes, I’m in.” It’s really a big deal for me. And then the National Association of the Deaf asked me to perform the national anthem. I realized they weren’t doing so well this year, so I kind of stopped following the NFL because I was so busy. I’m a big fan of the Arizona Cards and I always follow them early in the season. How did your involvement in this year’s Super Bowl come together?
