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

Summertime Songs for Your Listening Enjoyment: "Summertime Blues"

Yesterday, Bob Stroud played ten songs about our favorite season because it was the first full day of it.  Here is a list of what he played on his Ten at Ten show:

BOYS OF SUMMER--  Don Henley
SUMMER BREEZE--  Seals & Croft
IN THE SUMMERTIME--  Mungo Jerry

SATURDAY IN THE PARK--  Chicago
SCHOOL'S OUT--  Alice Cooper
SUMMERTIME BLUES--  Who
SURFIN' SAFARI--  Beach Boys

SUMMER IN THE CITY--  Lovin' Spoonful
SUMMER OF '69--  Bryan Adams
HOT FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME--  Sly & the Family Stone

Stroud always has listeners vote for their favorite song played.  I voted for "In the Summertime" by Mungo Jerry.  If I had to pick just one favorite summer song, this would be it.  I just love that "chh, chh,  chh" sound.  "Summer Breeze" won.

Remember, Bob Stroud will play three hours of summer songs this Sunday from 7 to 10 a.m. CDST on his Rock and Roll Roots show on Chicago's WDRV.  It streams, so grab a cool one, put on your sun glasses, sit back and get into the mood.

Name That Tune (from the above songs):  "You Can Stretch Right Up and Touch the Sky."  --RoadDog

SILLY PUNS:  I stayed up all night to see where the sun went.  Then it dawned on me.

"In the Summertime"
