This is a heartfelt, "front-porch" solo, vocal & guitar version of a straight-up, country-blues track about falling in love on the 4th of July and enjoying all the 4th of July festivities in small towns everywhere across America. The roots of this song come from the 1950's in a village where I lived in as a kid and the village we raised our kids in. As kids, we all washed our bikes early in the morning and dressed them up for the parade and a day of speeding from event to event. We rode bikes to the American Legion Hall for a pancake breakfast and hung with the veterans who were all wearing their veteran's caps and vests and there were all smiling and happy to see us. They all had their convertibles all clean and shiny and parked in the parking lot for people to come and look at. Usually they passed out popcorn balls and lollypops to all of us kids to help keep our energy up from all the bike peddling our young legs were enduring. We also attached playing cards to back wheel frames of our bikes with wooden clothes-pins, so the cards stuck in between the bike spokes and the spokes swept across the cards creating a fluttering sound. We thought it was so cool and it WAS! And we had flags taped to our bikes, with streamers attached to the handlebars and then headed to the town's parade, tickling our bike bells, as the parade weaved it's way thru the heart of town. And of course, there was a lot of love in the air as teenagers were enjoying a "date day" of flirting and stealing a kiss during the fireworks at night. This is an honest, authentic and sweet nostalgic tune, just what we need today and this year. I love the 4th of July. It's a day for remembering and giving thanks! God Bless America! https://chetnichols.net/single-red-white-and-blue-solo
