Happy Independence Day! Fourth of July Special Tonight!

I hope everyone has a happy and safe Independence Day!  My suggestion is to follow the example of these folks celebrating the Fourth of July on St. Helena Island, South Carolina in 1939:  stay in the shade!  Photo from the Library of Congress American Memory Collection.  Speaking of staying in, don't miss tonight's Swing Shift Shuffle Independence Day Special, featuring two hours of great patriotic swing!
