 From the Weatherology Weather Center, I'm meteorologist Jennifer Wojcicki for AM 960 KLTF Little Falls. Currently 63. Happy 4th of July from Seems Like Old Times. In 1940, Bing Crosby recorded the patriotic cantata Ballad for Americans. Back then, it took up four sides on two discs. But nowadays, we can listen to it in its entirety without having to stop and flip the record over.
