#42: The Mt. Rushmore Of The Mt. Rushmore Series

Because the Mt. Rushmore Series was initiated exactly four years ago on this date, I'm hoping at least a few of my regular readers will indulge me for being so self-referential today. To the rest of you - apologies. Below are the links - four, of course - for the Mt. Rushmore of the Mt. Rushmore series, selected because this group has received the most views.

This post from 2014 probably benefited from a class I was teaching at the time; I'm a shameless promoter of my blog in my classes.  It was gratifying to re-visit it and still feel so passionate about these four timeless songs from the 1930's.
