United States Postal Service Full Service Approved
Well, another Mail Music Monday is upon us (me) and I had so many fun holidays to work with I thought it would be easy peasy. Guess what? Not so easy. So I've decided to toss it out to you.
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find a snail mail related song that also mentions any of the holidays that happen this week; National Cheeseburger Day (September 18th), International Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19th), or International Day of Peace September 21.
The song should also have a video available for posting on our blog and our Facebook page. I will send a gift to the person who sends what I determine to be the best Mail Music Monday song.
All submissions must be posted by midnight CST, Wednesday, September 19.
You can make submissions by commenting on this post (I will be able to see your email address but it won't show to others who visit this site), by tweeting with the #mailmusicmonday hashtag, or by posting it on our Facebook wall (www.facebook.com/ipresort).
To obtain your gift, I will need your snail mail address. Ways of accomplishing that would be either follow us on Twitter (@iPresort) and let me know that you posted a submission and followed us using the hashtag #MailMusicMonday. I can then follow you back and get your snail mail address via DM. Or, you can “Like” us on Facebook and provide us your address via Facebook message. If you post your submission as a comment on this blog I can use the email address you used to comment.
However you decide to submit a suggestion, please remember to use the #mailmusicmonday. I hope you have better luck than I did but hey, even if you don't find the perfect song, I hope you have fun trying.

It's always a challenge coming up with snail mail related songs. There are lots of them out there but I like to see if I can attach them to a current event or holiday. And so many of the songs about mail are sad. I like to start the week with something that's a little energizing or at least cheerful.
I chose this fun song by The Memphis Jug Band, performed by California Honey Drops, to celebrate California's admission into the Union as the thirty-first state. It's celebrated annually on September 9th. The song is called “Letter From My Darlin”. I like it and I hope you do, too!

“The United States Postal Service is privileged to have the name and spirit of Steven Riccione forever associated with our Geneva Post Office.” Kathleen Burns, U.S. Postal Service Western NY District manager
Cpl Steven Blaine Riccione Post Office, Geneva, NY
The community celebrated with cake and heartfelt words as the Historic Geneva Post Office was renamed in honor of hometown war hero, Corporal Steven Blaine Riccione. The U.S. Post Office at 67 Castle Street now bears a plaque with his name and the date that the bill was signed into law by President Obama.
In attendance were postal personnel, Congressman Richard Hanna (who introduced the bill), Congressman Tom Reed, friends of the Riccione family and of course, Cpl Steven Blane Riccione's siblings, nieces, nephews and extended family.
