Ten score and some ago a little experiment called America was begun. We at Balcony Radio are doing our patriotic duty to celebrate the good and (mostly) bad of that long history. Here in Lesson 151 of the 101 Series, we spin songs all about the whos, whats, wheres, and whys of American history. This show will be your Civics final this semester.
