I guess these 2 really date me, but the songs that bring me back to past summers are:

Pat Boone's "Love Letters in the Sand" &

Bobby Vinton's "Roses are Red"

It played all summer when I was a kid on Lake Matawanakee.

Anything Roy Orbison

Wow
Love all the responses. Great songs

LongBay · 05-19-2015, 08:48 PM

Too many to list them all ... the song list on their Endless Summer album is a good start.

You're right about Joe Bonnamassa. He's unreal. Saw him in concert in Boston.
I love "Mountain Time" If you like Joe you should check out a band he was in recently called "Black Country Communion" with Glenn Hughes from Deep Purple on lead vocals and and Jason Bonham on drums. Great stuff! Check out Glenn Hughes at 7:08.

Joe is an incredible guitar player! I also saw him in Boston a few years ago. Glenn Hughes is my absolute favorite singer, songwriter, by far. Seen him a few times in different locations over the years. The most memorable was at BB Kings Blues Club in NYC. He is truly one of a kind! Here's one of his ballads and one of my favorites...

Island Girl,

I remember that song "Wayward Wind". It was playing the morning I woke up knowing we were leaving Lake Winni that day to go back home to NJ. Have mixed emotions when I hear that song now.

I'll go for that one, but with Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitsgerald.

"And When She Smiles" by the Wild Weeds

8gv · 05-19-2015, 11:42 PM

"Boys of Summer" by Don Henly.

Greene's Basin Girl · 05-20-2015, 01:04 AM

"Save Your Heart For Me" (walk along the lake with someone new) by Gary Lewis and the Playboys (1965). Oh yes- summer love!

Another song with good lake memories is: "little Red Rented Row Boat" ( 1962) by Joe Dowell. This song brings back memories because when I was young summer tourists rented cabins in Green's Basin. Each cabin came with a red row boat. I use to see everyone rowing around.
