Re: My sound of Summer

When it was mentioned yesterday about a Summer song I immediately thought of the song "Just As Well" by Jackie Greene.  It's off his American Myth album which is a current favorite of mine.  And, Dino - You might want to check this song out because the lyrics echo your recent funk.  This song has a Sugar Ray feel to it that conjures an image of casually walking down the boardwalk on a warm sunny day.

Re: My sound of Summer

Blimey, not an original thought to be had anywhere somedays is there!

I thought it was a good idea, wrote the following and someone, yet again, tramples all over it.....

"Don't know about you guys but my ol' bones are starting to get a little painful with the winter cold. I was wasting some time on youtube and I stumbled on this. Shut your eyes and think of the warmth of the sun on your skin as you listen to this. Bliss!!
