Happy 4th of July: Strike Up the Band!


I was just about to scan in some antique July 4th postcards to post here when I came across these two  pieces of patriotic sheet music in my archive. The covers are simply gorgeous and marchs are oh-so-Fourth of July. The top image, from 1905, was transformed into a holiday postcard last year. I wasn't quite so ambitious this year, so the bottom music, from 1912, will have to wait for 2013.
