if you download the precompiled binary, there are various demo batch files included, one of which is S.A.M. singing the star spangled banner, which is comprised of multiple commands to execute the S.A.M. program containing both the phonetic text (in ARPAbet) and the pitch command to make him "sing", those were spliced together in the file found on the website

if i had to guess, the reason why S.A.M. cannot say a whole paragraph before stopping mid-sentence is a limitation by the C64 (most likely not having enough memory due to loading the program off of the floppy disk), carried over to this port, presumably to preserve the functionality

This branch on my fork can do around 14 seconds of speech, up from the 7 possible with the version here. I modified the code slightly to allow this
