My annual tradition of taking a couple of weeks off from the blog each summer continues. This year my family is taking a road trip to Washington, D.C., so the next ten weekday selections will all relate to our nation’s capital. Random Weekends will proceed as usual.

Let me make it clear that I chose these songs strictly based on their mention of Washington, D.C., either in the title or the lyrics. I do not vouch for the quality of any of these songs. In fact, many of them are downright awful.

You’ve been warned. See you in a couple of weeks!
