Sunday Supper: 07/04/21

On the 4th of July edition of "Sunday Supper" Madeleine Peyroux asks the musical question, "What is an American?" I don't have any definitive answers, but I do have music about Americans and the American Dream by Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Jimmy LaFave, J.S. Ondara, Craig Cardiff, Roger McGuinn, Chris Pierce, and Kemp Harris. Plus alternative national anthems by Jean Rohe and Debi Smith.

Wherever you're celebrating Independence Day, keep the fireworks in the sky and not in your family and listen between 5-6 pm EST at 90.7 FM or wfuv.org. If the festivities preclude radio listening, remember the show is always on demand in the WFUV Weekend Archives, on the WFUV app, or the patriotic smart speaker of your choice.
