4th of July NYC 2014
Thought for the Day: I have been trying to take it easy this summer & am reposting a 4th of July post from 2013 today. If you missed it last year, I hope you enjoy my selections and have a great weekend! I just added another video that I found on YouTube of Kate Smith introducing what almost became the National Anthem. We took this photo last night from a roof top in Brooklyn (Dumbo section). Happy 4th of July!

Thought for the Day: Songs can capture the mood of a nation. When they do, they become classic hits. My 1st choice for today is a video which also tells the stories behind one such song.
"Bye Bye Miss American Pie,"written & performed by

This video shares some very interesting images & explanations of the meaning behind the song that is as American as apple pie. It is also remarkable that the song somehow is uplifting despite the difficult subject it addresses. Read on to hear the songs I picked
