A little history

Independence Day marks the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on 4 July 1776. Its music runs from "The Star-Spangled Banner" — written by Francis Scott Key in 1814 and the national anthem since 1931 — to John Philip Sousa's "The Stars and Stripes Forever", the national march; the Boston Pops' concert on the Esplanade has been a broadcast tradition since the 1970s. Road trip radio, country radio and American radio go further.
