Happy President's Day! Today is officially Abraham Lincoln's birthday, so we plan to play music that pertains to the White House and its many occupants throughout the years (and even before we had a White House, or the capital city was Washington, D.C. - girl knows her history, now.)
We certainly won't have time to get through all these songs this week, but because George Washington's birthday (on the Gregorian calendar) is Feb. 22, we can do some carryover - he was born when the Julian calendar was in full swing, but I presume the math has been done. If not, I ain't cleanin' that mess up - they promised me in journalism school I didn't have to do math (that is an outright lie... I'm totally joking).
Here are the songs relating in some fashion or another to each President, and some generically to more than one:
o
20 Arthur Adams Get
You Next to Me 4:54
o
21 Leroy Washington Wild
Cherry 2:23
Ø In case you want a reference, here is a list of
presidents (and their VEEPs) since the four-year elected office of president
was created.
