Stars & Stripes Forever
Happy July Birthday celebrants

Do you appreciate seeing fireworks celebrating the Fourth of July? Who doesn’t adore hearing the patriotic sounds of music celebrating the Fourth of July? I am sure your city has fireworks and other celebrations. I live abroad part of the year, a fireworks celebration is on another day.
I still celebrate my father’s birthday-July fourth as it is my favorite day of the year even though he can’t be with me to see the fireworks as a celebration for his birthday. He loved to listen to music especially when my high school and college band played Stars and Stripes Forever. It gave me fond memories of playing under a tree while a slight breeze blew past my face. I stopped playing, but I pull out my flute for this occasion once a year. This year, we get to sit on our deck and see the fireworks over the water with our new very active puppy, Gracie.
I hope you have a wonderful celebration if your birthday is in July. Listen for Stars and Stripes Forever. It could be me.
