A duet by Pat and Martina.

Well we had a special treat Monday. We stayed on our boat on the
Charles River for the 4th of July in Boston. Got to hear Martina live
while watching her on TV.

And Pat always knocks my (Red) Sox off too!

After watching the DC fireworks on the TV, we switched to Boston. I wish I'd watched only Boston's.
I've never been able to figure why the capitol of the country couldn't do a better job.

Boston always does a great job.

My recollection is that the DC fireworks are paid for by the city
government of the District of Government. I saw the Boston fireworks on
TV in the past and was curious because they seemed a lot more extensive.
The Boston show apparently is paid for by private corporate interests.

I remember 1976 watching the 24 hr a day fireworks on 'cable tv"
pumped in live from Boston Harbor. Recording equipment was in pioneer
stages then but wow I wished i could have taped it. Absolutely
spectacular. Fireworks going off in broad daylight and *seemingly
hundreds of fire boats in full spray.

very awsome!

We did the 1976 show in my dad's old wooden lapstrake Pen Yann then
tere was a big gap in our attendance until a couple of years ago.

One thing that was annoying was the helicoptor circling and shining
the spot light on the crowd. We got there a day early so we could get
a spot close enough so that we could actually hear the concert live
but the chopper drowned out a lot of it.

That's a damn shame. Wonder if it's still happening?
