Reading this makes me nostalgic for all those summer celebrations - the smell of BBQ, the pop of fireworks, and of course, the perfect soundtrack. Speaking of soundtracks, I've been really into playing Heardle lately. It's such a fun way to test your song recognition skills starting from just that first little snippet, and it's become a sweet little daily music challenge. It reminds me of trying to guess songs on the radio with friends back in the day. What's your go-to patriotic song for a Fourth of July playlist?
