Yankee Doodle

Yankee Doodle is a traditional song that is often played and sung for patriotic US events and holidays.  Prior to and during the US revolutionary war, it was often sung by British troops to mock the disheveled, disorganized colonial "Yankees"

Given the events we are witnessing in US and world politics today, we thought this was an excellent song to perform as part of our "Love Your Neighbors Project".  Perhaps we are poking some fun at politicians who often seem to be disheveled, disorganized colonial "Yankees" today?   Truly, no offence is intended towards anyone because Yankee Doodle can be applied depending on how you interpret it to any political party of your choosing!

We have performed several different versions of Yankee Doodle including, traditional flute, traditional vocal, square dance versions, rap, and mashups and remixes combining the various versions in different ways.  We find the rap version particularly funny in light of some political figures association with certain infamous people.

Have a happy 4th of July!

Here is the Yankee Doodle album cover:














On a recent California to Canada road trip after seeing so many amazing things, I visited Fort Niagara.  While our relations with our Neighbors to the North have been peaceful for many years, there was a short period of time during the war of 1812 when they were not - towns burned and bad things happened.  Peace is much better than war!
