Fifty Songs for Fifty States
July 4, 2005
Closer to 150 songs, but who's counting?
89.3 The Current celebrated the Fouth of July with a musical road-trip from sea to shining sea. Moving through the states in alphabetical order, we played at least song for each. Along the way, we stopped to profile some key cities that have helped make American music what it is today.
