“It will be celebrated with pomp and parade,
bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other.”
John Adams
You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4th,
not with a parade of guns, tanks,
and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle,
but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees,
the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness.
You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.
Erma Bombeck

And, of course, no celebration is complete without music! Again, my all-time favorites for the 4th of July. (Hey, it’s only once a year!) And one of these is new to me!
