The Fourth of July celebrates more than the American Revolution; it honors freedom, patriotism, family, history, and this sweet land of liberty. Originally it is the date that the Continental Congress adopted the resolution to split from the Kingdom of England. This led to the writing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4 th, 1776 by Thomas Jefferson. John Hancock and the delegates with smaller signatures later signed the document on August 2, 1776 knowing full well that signing such a document would cost them their heads should the Revolution fail. This signing was followed by firecrackers and Colonial-style hooting and hollering in the in the streets of New England.
This grand ole collection of old time radio shows includes a You Are There and Cavalcade of America's different dramatized versions of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The legend of Paul Revere's "shout heard around the world" is enacted in Escape. Great Gildersleeve and Father Knows Best celebrate the Fourth of July as All-American families. Even the Quiz Kids celebrate Independence Day playing and exciting game of "Which President? Also included are shows that aired on the Forth of July throughout radio's history.
This land is your land and this land is my land and today Americans celebrate the Fourth of July with picnics, baseball games, fireworks, and of course classic American old time radio shows including Dare Devils of Hollywood. Be a Yankee Doodle Dandy and get a hot dog in one hand and a sparkler in the other and enjoy these patriotic-theme old time radio shows!

It's funny, I was going to write to you today and tell you that everything was now working ok. I went on line last night with my Apple laptop and navigated around the website with none of the previous jumping/flashing that I was experiencing the other night. I did place an order the other day by using my other Mac that has Windows installed on it. But the laptop I use more often. Can't thank you guys enough for what you do to preserve the old radio shows. It's all I listen to in the home/car. It amazes me that you keep coming up with more material. Have a great 4th of July and thanks again for the personal attention to this problem you've given me!
