Happy 4th of July!

Just wanted to take a minute
and wish everyone out there a
Safe & Happy 4th of July!

Hope you're making the most of the day off!

Now, last year I included a video of the Boston Pops performing the 1812 Overture, along with fireworks. I was going to just show the same video, but then I found this version of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Not only are the fireworks a little cooler (can't see the city of Boston letting any one do that off the Hatch Shell), but there is something very amusing to me about a Chinese orchestra performing a song written to commemorate a Russian victory which has been adopted as an unofficial anthem of America's Independence Day. Feels very inclusive. Enjoy.
