Well it's now officially the week of Independence Day in the United States. I'm making an Independence Day playlist for my week at the lake. We'll probably use this for the 4th of July party or possibly for on the boat while watching the fireworks show.
I've tried to gather music that is either patriotic or related in some way to the U.S.A. - some positive and some not. I have the songs sorted by pop, then country and then instrumental. Feel free to give me any suggestions you have and I'll add them to the list. Each of the songs link to the iTunes Store for previewing and/or purchasing if your interested.
