I don't know if a true blue lefty like me can ever feel anything other than deeply conflicted on the 4th of July. It's all a big mess, isn't it? Still, a 4th under President Obama is infinitely preferable to the last eight, and that's what I'll think about when I watch the fireworks light up the nighttime sky on Saturday.
But it's Friday and this seems like the perfect hot lazy holiday tune. I love the breezy banter between these two:
Louis Armstrong & Bing Crosby - Gone Fishin'
In other news, the 2nd part of the Contrast Podcast CD swap is available and would obviously be worth listening to, dictionary at the ready, if only to see what Eiron had got up to. But I've already played it once through and the whole thing is brilliant and fun fun fun.
This was the first track on a Louis Armstrong cassette my dad made for me when I went away to University :) Lovely.

Happy 4th July.
Here in the UK it is impossible to be a true blue lefty......

I know just how you feel about that. But thanks for the song - it sounds perfect.

Thank you, JC. It was fun- food & fireworks!
Hi Dane- I'm glad you liked the song too. As soon as I finish this I'm heading over to Flickr to see what you baked... :).
Marcy- I guess I am! :)).
