"American Trilogy" is a great way to mark Memorial Day. Let Elvis Presley help you salute A) our military men and women, B) our nation, and C) jumpsuits. The songs in this trilogy are "Dixie," "Battle Hymn of the Republic," and "All My Trials."
If you're looking for an excellent instrumental, give a listen to "Ashokan Farewell," the tune Ken Burns used in his "Civil War" documentary.
More tunes are at right.
