Heavy Metal Sunday celebrates it's independence!

Happy 4th, every one! Now, if you'll all stand and please remove your hats, Zakk Wylde will perform our national anthem:

Since it's also my birthday, we're going off-genre a little for some classic Grateful Dead, the US Blues!

And finally, John Williams conducting the Boston Pops. The Stars and Stripes Forever

Happy Birthday, Sweetie, but damn that piccolo solo on the Stars and Stripes! I never could get it but it sure is beautiful to hear.

A good day to have a birthday on.

Gotta admit, I was expecting Jimi Hendrix.

Happy birthday, Yankee Doodle!

Let martial note in triumph float
And liberty extend its mighty hand
A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers,
The banner of the Western land.
The emblem of the brave and true
Its folds protect no tyrant crew;
The red and white and starry blue
Is freedom's shield and hope.

My favorite part was when John turned 'round and conducted *the audience* in their clapping! That was pure-d delightful!

Happy Birthday!
