PROGRAM NOTES:
This week, we celebrate the 4th of July with songs about America, Americans, places in America, and general good time holiday weekend music. I kept the theme loose this year, but I tried to stick close to the "American" theme. The show started off with "Thunderstorm Safety Tips," another in my series paying homage to my favorite podcast, "Welcome to NightVale."
