Welcome to full on summer!  These guys (The Paragons) were best known for the song “The Tide Is High” later covered by Blondie.  There is nothing I’d rather listen to as I reclaim my neglected back yard.  You’re wwwelcome!

I think this track pretty much speaks for itself.  I can’t imagine anything I’d rather listen to as the summertime BBQ season finally gets into full swing.

Ah, an old favorite. Hi-five to my man SnailBoy for droppin’ this one on me ages ago. Nothing sez “It’s Summer” better than this cut (case in point). So as I sail off into vacation land, I leave you this in my wake.

Get yr pale self to the beach and make some new friends!
