4th of July: Summertime, Travel, Food & Baseball!

The Juke In The Back jumps into summer by spotlighting THE summertime holiday, the 4th of July. We’re diggin’ the 4th in song with tunes about summertime and the foods enjoyed in summer by Sam Cooke, Chuck Berry, The Basin Street Boys, Chris Powell (hot dog) and John Brim (ice cream). We’ll also focus on America’s pastime with R&B songs about Baseball, honoring some of the top players who crossed over from the Negro Leagues into the Major Leagues. Records from Buddy Johnson, Brownie McGhee and Jack Williams highlight the great Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby and Satchel Paige. Join Matt The Cat as we cruise America’s mighty highways jiving to summertime travel songs. So Grab some nickels, suntan lotion, a hot dog and meet us at the ballpark, where the Juke In The Back will be jumpin’!
