An "oldie"

Ah, thought of that while I was out walking. Glad you got it. I might post a very different version of the same song.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Same song, different spin on it. From my favorite Latvian guitar virtuoso.

I promise there are vocals in this song. Doesn't start til almost 2 minutes. This band likes long intros.

Barely known country singer from the 90s that I liked.

A long time ago someone said to me "you don't know summer time until you know Billy"

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...uck Chuck a-chuck-chuck (huh! yeah!)
A-summertime And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin, don't you know my darling,
I said a-right nowAnd the cotton is high
Like-a like-a like-a you're daddy's richAnd your mommy's good-lookin', yeah
So hush, pretty little baby, don't you cry....

The beautiful Academy Award nominated song from The Alamo

Diesel - Sausalito Summernight. "Hot Summer night in Sausalito..."

I know I posted this on last year's 'summer' thread, but I just like the heck out of this performance.
A group of musicians having a good time with a fun song that tells a story
From 1981 and it reached #1 in Canada, that's how I discovered it.

 

[Aluminny69]

A big hit for Nat King Cole

In 2010 (yeah 15 yrs ago) Danger Mouse did a playlist for Summer with ~170 songs in it - pretty diverse

Enough songs for a good car trip - Bananarama's "Cool Summer" and Nancy Sinatra "Summer Wine" was good.
