This Saturday is the 4th of July, Independence Day. That means cookouts, parades, flags flying, fireworks, and patriotic music. I'm especially looking forward to the fireworks.Just in time for Independence Day, Amazon.com is offering this A Salute To America MP3 album download for only $1.99. It's going to be featured as the MP3 Deal of the Day on Friday, July 3rd. That means you can get 30 patriotic songs such as The Star Spangled Banner, America the Beautiful, Stars and Stripes Forever, Dixie, You're a Grand Old Flag, and the Yellow Rose of Texas - all for $1.99. Regular price is $9.49, so that's quite a significant discount. The songs are all performed by the 101 Strings Orchestra which has recorded hundreds of albums since its inception in 1957.
I've been listening to the previews of all these songs - you can listen to 30 seconds of each - and really enjoying all of them. We own a lot of music, but we don't have a good collection of patriotic songs like this. We might have a few of them here and there, but definitely not all of them and not in one place. I don't think I can afford to pass up this deal - 30 songs for less than $2, and we can play patriotic songs all weekend.
Be sure to check out A Salute To America on Amazon.com and get your July 3rd Deal of the Day. (Actually, check it out now, because you can save 10¢ and get it for $1.89 right now.)
