PLAYLIST FOR “STARS & BARS!” 6.13.26

14 Jun

In a few weeks we’ll all be celebrating America’s big birthday – 250 years old! (Although it doesn’t look a day over 249 and a half.) We’ll be watching parades, listening to marching band, and saluting the grand old Stars & Stripes! But I thought I’d celebrate very different kinds of stars and bars.
