Flashback: It’s 1966 in New Providence, NJ and I’m spending a lazy summer afternoon in one of my frequent, favorite pastimes. I’m leaning up against the huge old willow tree in our yard, my prized AM transistor radio in hand. I’ve got WABC on the dial and listening to Dan Ingram, Cousin Brucie, Ron Lundy or Harry Harrison spin some tunes and I spend (what seems like) hours listening to the fabulous music of the day. One of my favorites was Summer in the City, and since I’m looking for warm weather inspiration today, I’ll pull this one up. My transistor radio is long gone, but YouTube has all those favorite summertime songs of my youth archived for me. Here ya go! (~Bev)
