WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT.... The Fourth of July has come and gone, but at this archived 7/4 radio show, “Laying Down Tracks” on WRUW-FM/91.1, Cleveland, (worldwide at wruw.org) are songs inspired by the Declaration of Independence, the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, World War II, Vietnam, the War of 1812 and the arrival in town of the Tall Ships down at the pier by Captain Frank’s. A twin-spin of great maritime songs by Lee Murdock is highlighted. And impress your friends by knowing all the verses to “The Star Spangled Banner!” Frances Scott Key—his friends called him Frank—wrote a killer poem while he was killing time on that ship during the bombardment. (And please consider honoring America by thanking a vet for his or her service to our country!) Other featured artists include former South Euclid resident Phil Ochs, Arlo Guthrie, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Gibson, Barry Sadler, Johnny Cash, the Flying Burrito Brothers (new release of a collection of their songs), Joan Baez, Trapezoid and Melanie. If interested in listening, this link (the longer string command with the numbers in it) will stay valid until Thurs., when it will be overwritten by the next edition of the show. Save/name this to your computer files if you wish to play it later. wruw-stream.wruw.org/archives/56/546.mp3
