Time to pull up the 4th of July Collection

Eight years ago, Linzi and I put together our 4th of July collection. Based on what we wanted in the collection, and the help of napster, we collected a great mix. Those of you that still have it on your Ipod playlist may want to call it up and listen to it again.

4th of July 2000

40 hour Week ----Alabama
City of New Orleans- Arlo Guthre
California Girls- Beach Boys
Born in the USA - Bruce Springsteen
Glory Days-- Bruce Sprinsteen
Abraham, John, Martin --- Dion
Rodeo- Garth Brooks
Poems, Prayers, Promises -- John Denver
Please Come to Boston -- Kenny Loggins
Sweet Home Alabama -- Lynyrd Skynyrd
California Dreamin-- Mamas and Pappas

RC America - Ray Charles
Joy to the World - Three Dog Night
God Bless the USA -- Lee Greenwood
Hotel California - Eagles
America Pie- Don McLean



Several years later, Heather and I sat down to do a mix that was a little heavier. It is called Americana Rock.

It was in response to the notion that any patriotic rock series worth its salt has to have Jimmi Hendricks Star Spangled Banner. I agree for the first 50 bars of the song.. after that it loses my interest.

So here is that mix:

Jack and Diane --- John Melloncamp
