Welcome to another installment of Mixed Tape Monday. School is out, pools and water parks are full, and my grass is dying. It can only mean one thing, SUMMER is here.
I believe that we all have some form of Pavlovian response to songs and that they are etched in our brain based on times and circumstance. The following songs are one’s that take me back to the halcyon days of my youth and summers spent with varied and sundry people and places.
