Hello Stranger -- Barbara Lewis

The definition of "wistful." A work of genius. Brings back all past summers.

No one mentioned Summer in the City by Lovin Spoonful?

But Summertime by Janis Joplin is great; no disrespect to the WHO

List could go on, but as Steve says this is fun

On our first outing of the year, as we leave the marina and go under the covered bridge to Little Squam I put on Frank Sinatras Summer Wind....It's timeless.

"Sunny Afternoon" by The Kinks. Good song to play on the guitar at barbecues.

Great one.
And if you like Ray Davies and the Kinks please check out this song called "Days" that he does live in Glastonbury England. It's about one of the founding members of the Kinks and though he wrote in 1968 he gets choked up in the beginning.

I think of my mentor "Ketch" every time I hear it.
