Two For New Orleans: A Soundtrack Saturday Post

I was a 7 year old boy in 1976, the 200th year of the American Revolution. It was quite a party. In my neighborhood all the fire hydrants were painted red white and blue. We sang patriotic songs in school. We memorized the Preamble of the Declaration of Independance. We learned about Valley Forge. But more than anything else that happened that year, I remember hearing these song on the radio. The first was recorded by Johnny Horton in 1958. The second was recorded by Arlo Guthrie in 1972. They made me love America. With this post I am doing something a little different. Instead of posting videos of the performers singing their songs I have selected fan videos.
