I heard it. They did a fabulous job. Fortunately I was out on our pontoon boat this past Sunday and I was enjoying the summer (spring???) breeze.

I'm assuming it's Summer Breeze by Seals and Crofts?
Fantastic song by a fantastic duo. So many great songs from them during the 70's that remind me of vacations on Cape Cod when I was a kid, playing softball on the sand bars and hearing those songs come from my Mom's A.M. radio.

Sorry 'bout that...I'm back now!

I was...

let's just say "younger"...

and standing in front of the TV late one summer night watching Midnight Special or maybe In Concert or maybe it was Rock Concert, and these two unusual dudes were getting ready to perform. One was wearing an unusual hat.

Just as I was about to utter "WTF?" They started to play.

I sat down and listened.

WOW!

WOW!

Many of the "Midnight Special" episodes are on You tube. They're great!
This link isn't Midnight Special but a great performance of "Get Closer" none the less

Whte Christmas! Yeah, I know. But here's 'the rest of the story' as they say:

I was in a carload of campers returning to Camp Treasure Island from a hootenanny (you all remember those, right??) in the early 60s, and of course we were singing our favorite folk songs. At several points we briefly ran out of songs to sing. I do Not remember how White Christmas came into the picture, but it did, and we kept repeating "and may all your Christmases be white" until we could come up with the next song to sing. And yeah, we gave that refrain quite a workout, over and over. And so every time I hear the song, I think back to that wonderful car trip in NH. Ah, the memories - Thanks for the excuse to bring them back.
