On Music on Yom Ha'atzmaut

Simcha at Hirhurim has a couple of interesting posts on the topic of music on Yom Ha'atzmaut here and here. I don't know if it they are in response to my inquiry, but I thank him in any event. Thanks also to the heilig Rebbe of Klal Yisrael who sent me a helpful email. (I respectfully ask the Rebbe of Klal Yisrael to continue letting me know when he thinks I'm off base or I've gone too far).

Finally, if you think I'm nuts about the juxtaposition of Yom Ha'atzmaut with sefirah, check out the Cookie Monster.
