These are reportedly songs that were picked by the President himself and his number one pick, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” by Stevie Wonder, is perfect for today's Presidential Inauguration Day, Martin Luther King Jr Day, Mail Music Monday! Wow! Today we have lots to celebrate!

Want to remind you that, although Dr. King's birthday was earlier this week (January 15) the Post Office is closed on Monday in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) establishes the following public holidays for Federal employees. Please note that most Federal employees work on a Monday through Friday schedule. For these employees, when a holiday falls on a nonworkday — Saturday or Sunday — the holiday usually is observed on Monday (if the holiday falls on Sunday) or Friday (if the holiday falls on Saturday).
And just to help keep you on track for the rest of 2013, here's a list of future USPS holidays:
| • Tuesday, January 1 | – New Year's Day |

Yes, he was born Joseph Henry Burnette on January 14, 1948 in St Louis, Missouri. He was raised in Ft Worth, Texas and came to be known as T-Bone Burnett. A singer, song writer, soundtrack and record producer, he won a Grammy Award for his work producing this song, “Please Read the Letter” by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant. I tried to find a song written by him but couldn't find any with lyrics or a title that would meet the qualifications for Mail Music Monday. I was impressed to see that he also won a Grammy for his work on one of my favorite movies, “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”
Texas lost him to Los Angeles many years ago, where he continues to work in music and on movies. Thanks for checking out today's mail music. If you have any favorite T-Bone Burnett stories, songs or movies, we'd love to have you share them with us.
