Joni with her take on summer, the haunting Hissing of Summer Lawns:

 

[Scud49]

"Ridin' 'round town with all the windows down
Eight track playin' all your fav'rite sounds
The rhythm of the bongos fill the park
The street musicians tryin' to get a start".....

 

[Aluminny69]

Late to the party, but let me add a few. Hope I don't duplicate

 

[Scud49]

"And watch the sun go down (sit and watch the sun go down)
Hear the sea roll in (listen to the sea roll in)
But I'll be thinking of you (yes, and I'll be thinking of you)"...

Somewhere Sunday morning brings us miles from earthbound, sailing the wind"

It's always better in the summer.

Here’s one from Stevie. I’d heard it by Joan Baez and Three Dog Night before I’d heard it by Stevie. The album is fantastic, and a harbinger of what was to come.

Always reminds me of driving along the shore with the windows/top down as the sun set on a warm summer eve.
