summertime serenade

{tunes: week 14 of 52}

some tunes just mean summertime to me.

some a distinct teenage memory;  windows down, driving nowhere in particular, real slow, music real loud, signing right along with every perfect word, free as a bird.

some just barefoot in the grass dancing tunes.

some with an island beat.

they make me want summer all the more.

what tunes mean summer to you?  i know you all have some.

go ahead turn it up and sing!  :)

happy weekend everyone.
