ROCKOLLECTIONS: 4TH OF JULY PT.1

[Mike Pell]

I did this show a couple of years ago, so when you hear me say it is America's 236th Birthday, substitute 238th- on the day the Declaration Of Independence (my favorite document ever!) was approved and ratified.
Older than me, but I'm pretty damned independent too!
I had long had this idea for an opening set for a 4th Of July show, and I finally remembered to do it!
As you well know, it was July 4, 1776 when we declared our Independence from Great Britain.
Much had taken place here in the Colonies since the end of the French & Indian War, leading up to this courageous breakup with the then world's strongest power, England.
So naturally I will start off with a British band, lol!
All kidding aside, the opener was irresistible.
From Rock to Folk to Soul and things in between, it's Music about Revolution and the Aftermath, in this opening Chapter for Independence Day.
Listen to the words, think, and enjoy!

So this is my luck...  I finally get a chance to sit down and listen and its a repeat of a show I've already heard!  hahaha...

I wasn't sure I'd heard it until that Joan Arma...  however you spell her last name, song came on...  Love that!  And more Deja-Vu with Thunderclap Newman.

Apparently Neil Young releases new material every 2 years.

Still a fine listen and kick off for the 4th celebration!

USA USA USA USA!!!

That might be the first time for you though, don't know if you were listening back then.

Nice to know I can help with clogged sinks, lol!

Nice repeat show, Mike! Whoo hoo!

Yes, I did listen to it while trying to figure out how to fix a clogged kitchen sink. You ARE useful!
