Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Root Saluting Summer 2016-- Part 1: "Sunny Days"

As usual, the Drive's Bob Stroud, WDRV 97.1 FM in Chicago, plays three hours of summer songs from the 1960s and 1970s on the first Sunday of summer and this year was no different.  That really puts me in the mood for summer.

BEACH BABY--  First Class
ALL SUMMER LONG--  Beach Boys
SUNNY DAYS--  Lighthouse

A SUMMER SONG--  Chad and Jeremy (or was it Peter and Gordon, I always get these two duos confused.
SUMMERTIME BLUES--  Eddie Cochran
SPILL THE WINE--  Eric Burdon & War

COME ON DOWN TO MY BOAT--  Every Mother's Son
INDIAN LAKE--  Cowsills   This one always reminds me of going out to Honey Hill in Wauconda, Illinois, before my shift started at Burger King in Palatine.
SUNSHINE SUPERMAN--  Donovan

UNDER THE BOARDWALK--  Drifters   This has got to be the place I'd least like to make out.  All that stuff that drops through the boards and sand that gets no light and is damp.  Such a smell.
SUNNY AFTERNOON--  Kinks
WAKE UP SUNSHINE--  Chicago

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "I Was Once Out Strolling One Very Hot Summer's Day."  --RoadDog


"Spill the Wine"
