Show 201: Nationalistic, International and Folk Music

[Added on 2015/7/18:  This used to be called Show 36.  I've renumbered the shows, so that this one is Show201.  The first digit will indicate which series the show is from: 1 for the first cycle, 2 for this second cycle, and so on.  For instance, the July 4th show for next year will be numbered numbered Show301, and so on.  If you didn't figure this out yet, my first show aired the week of July 4th, 2014.]

With this broadcast, we begin a new year of Archie's Archives.  It's July 4th, so we're going to feature national anthems, and other patriotic songs, both from the USA and other lands.
