Music List A Month (July): Favorite Songs About Summer
When I think of songs about Summer, my first thoughts are warm days, long muggy nights, beaches and sunny weather. I grew up in 3 areas where Summer really applied to those. Except in Mannheim, Germany where there was no beach, but Summer's were warm. I was born in North Carolina, and we would make treks to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in the Summer. And of course, California, where I live now and am just a short walk to the Beach.
So here are just a few of my favorite Summer songs:
