Welcome to 2023's July Spockebration!

Yes, once again it's time for out annual presentation of music which celebrates a notable aspect of American history. Remember, our nation is the worst on Earth --- except for all the other ones.

In aspirations, dreams of equality, and declared goals of access and common respect, we can't be beat!  To the extent that we fall short of these lofty aspirations, it's up to YOU to do what you can in YOUR OWN LIFE to treat those around you with respect.  And DON'T disrespect your neighbor -- either by letting your cow run free, or playing loud music after dark, or stealing or defacing another's property.

SERMON OVER.  Now, on to the show!
