Wishing you a Happy 4th of July. Hopefully, you are enjoying a three-day weekend, whether you got Friday off or whether you still have Monday off to look forward to. It’s a great weekend for festivities — at least where I live. The weather is quite nice.
Enjoy a simple, straightforward rendition of the Star Spangled banner by the United States Marine Band in honor of the day. Then, watch the video from JibJab and ThePartyParty.com. It’s an amusing take on the Banner, with former presidents saying words that can be used in the national anthem.
Happy 4th of July!

Despite its humble beginnings as an English drinking song, the music accompanying the Star Spangled Banner has evolved into something that sounds quite inspiring. I enjoyed this straightforward rendition from the United States Marine Band.
Another rendition of the Star Spangled Banner is this, which includes words highlighted so that you can learn them — and where they go.
Have a very Happy 4th of July!
