Special Presentation: The Spirit of 76

Show Note Special Presentation: Spirit of ‘76 This week Host Dave Bledsoe is celebrating 250 years of America by dressing as Uncle Sam and getting piss drunk at a cookout. (It is tradition) On the show this week, we drop in this Special Presentation about the last Big Birthday Blast America put on back in 1976! From Tall Ships to Winnebagos, from fire hydrants to twenty five cents worth of history we explore all the way America celebrated 200 years!  Our Sponsor is Numismatics who wants you to check your swear jar before you dump them in Coinstar.  We open with ABC coverage of America’s Big Day and close with John Williams and the Boston Pops.
