Next is Henry Van Dyke's 1909 poem America For Me read by Vincent Price. I thought this would fit perfectly with my recent Monster Bash posts. This track was originally uploaded last year by Lee at the wonderful Music You (Possibly) Won't Hear Anyplace Else. Be sure to check out his blog for more great Independence Day music.

Awesome Vincent Price track! I'll have to include it the next time I put together a compilation of Price stuff. I wonder what album it came off of, I've never seen it before.
Have a Happy 4th!
oops, looks like I posted too soon. It turns out I have indeed seen that Vincent Price track before, I guess my brain was having a senior moment earlier :P
Its from The Heart of America in Poetry album only the introductory dialog before he starts reading the poem is missing (maybe that's what threw me off). There's some other tracks on the album that are good for the 4th of July as well.
I went ahead and posted the whole thing along with Great American Poetry on my blog:
