We hear fewer patriotic songs as the years move forward. We usually fall back on the new American anthem, Lee Greenwood's God Bless e USA and then nothing else, sadly. I decided that this month's Fourth of July article should be about many of our American states that have songs that have actually been hits on the national music charts. Here's a few I listed from memory. California Here I Come, Al Jolson Oklahoma Swing, Vince Gil & Reba McEntire New York New York, Frank Sinatra Blue Moon Of Kentucky, Dolly Parton/Elvis Presley God Bless Texas, Little Texas Private Idaho, B52s Arizona, Paul Revere & The Raiders Georgia On My Mind, Ray Charles Blue Hawaii, Elvis Presley Kentucky Woman, Neil Diamond Massachusetts, Bee Gees Carolina In My Mind, James Taylor Ohio, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Kansas City, Wilbert Harrison Moonlight In Vermont, Sarah Vaughn Sweet Home Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd North to Alaska, Johnny Horton Delaware, Perry Como Rhode Island, Blossom Dearie Meet Me In Montana, Marie Osmond & Dan Seals Join Barb Miller, Rosie Ingalls, and D.J. Blast in the South Clubhouse on Fri., July 28 starting at around 5:30 pm, depending on the availability of the room. So whether it's a patriotic song that inspires you to sing or a state song that moves you, we encourage you to join us for this month's Sun Lakes Goodtimes karaoke. We will continue to keep a warm disinfected microphone on and ready for you. For info about our events, call Barb Miller at (951) 845-7265.
