She Plays Music’s Top 40 Summer Time Songs of All Time

I have great memories of summer – going to the Jersey Shore, camping with family or friends, barbecues, picnics and lots of good music. It’s funny how some songs just remind you of summer’s past, mostly in a good way. There’s nothing like hearing a song and going back to the days of hanging out with friends listening to the boom box, or driving down the road with all the windows open blasting a very cool song.  Summer songs make an impression. You don’t hear people talking about winter songs or spring songs, right?
