My Summer Playlist

In honor of 4th of July...I am making a list of songs that for either obvious or very personal reasons, always remind me of Summer when I hear them. Some choices are cheesy...I admit that openly, some will be surprising, and some are just right. Alas, behold the list:

I have gone ahead and compiled my ENTIRE Summer Playlist for you. It can be found here...
