Songs For President's Day


This is me attempting to do something interesting for President's Day. Each song in this set bears the surname of a U.S. President in its title. I didn't do anything crazy, like post a song for each of our 45 pPresidents. But I found as many as I could, and you're going to have to be okay with that. Enjoy?  ~  JH
