Happy 4th of July!

 Happy 4th of July!

It’s about time to fire up the grill, set off some fireworks, and through a few trusty white ping pong balls into red and blue solo cups – how’s that for red, white, and blue? Before I depart for America’s birthday bash, I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Independence Day! Whether you grill out with some friends or rent that terrific (ha!) movie starring Will Smith – make the 4th a memorable one.

Another great, appropriate track for today is “4th of July” by Aimee Mann. I have it posted on my blog if you are interested in checking it out.

I think I’m still partial to the Jimmy Hendrix guitar solo version of “The Star Spangled Banner.”

“Born in the USA” by The Boss imo is still the best, great lyrics. Also, props to Brian -Hendrix was a guitar god. -obd

Love that Sufjan. Definitely still my favorite version of the national anthem.
