Winter. Cold. Snow. AAARRRGGGHHH!

There is snow and cold EVERYWHERE it seems. I didn’t think anything could be worse than the winter of 2010 but obviously I was wrong. There’s snow in Dallas and Houston, Texas (it don’t even look right writing THAT!) Snow in Atlanta, GA. Hell, even the Chicago public school system had it’s first snow day cancellation in 12 YEARS!

{sigh} I want to see the street curbs in my neighborhood again. I want some sunshine. I WANT SOME HEAT!

Well, since I can’t control the weather (but, boy, if I could…) I’ve done IMHO the next best thing, I’ve put together a mix of “summer” songs that will hopefully make us forget about all of this winter mess (at least for awhile) and transport us to those beautiful, warm summer days/nights that we so desperately long for.

OK, let’s all do like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz… close our eyes, click our heels together 3 times and say, “There’s no place like summer, there’s no place like summer, there’s no place like summer…”
