Independence Day ‘08

This year’s Fourth of July celebration will be a special one. The School Girl and I are headed down to W’boro. Her big brother, El Capitan, is on leave from his base in Washington state after arriving home from Iraq four weeks ago. It is also his birthday. I know it will be great celebrating the birthday of an American hero along with the birth of our great nation. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Here is a spectacular version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” as sung in a special duet with Nona Gaye and her late father, the legendary Marvin Gaye:

Happy Fourth of July everybody!
