"By Mannheim Steamroller and C. W. McCall"
That's fascinating to me.
C. W. McCall, who had the "hit" record called "Convoy" mentioned above, years ago was the mayor of Ouray, Colorado, a spectacular little town in the Uncompagre Mountains in Southwestern Colorado. It's on the beautiful highway that leads from Four Corners up through Silverton, Durango, Cortez and other wonderful small mountain towns.
We went there for July 4th several years in a row in the mid-80's, sometimes meeting guys I worked with from Detroit and San Francisco and their families.
The fireworks up the highway were great, and the daytime events, including a parade down "the" main street and contests between local volunteer firefighters really highlighted some of the traditional feeling of the holiday.
Happy Birthday, America and many happy returns.
