Summer fun!

Sunday May 28, 2006
Well, summer has now officially begun -- sure, we could wait until the actual physical solstice on June 21st, but who'd want to waste three weeks of prime June weather? With that in mind, here's a Memorial Day reminder of just how much the classic AM radio hits of the 50s, 60s, and 70s influenced us all in the warmer months, and how well they still manage to set the mood!

I have a problem. I,m trying to find a song from the 70’s or 80’s. I believe the title is “Because their young”. and it’s an instramental. It has a guitar track like Duane Eddy. I can’t find it. I hope it rings a bell with you. Much tks, Bill Fury. wfury@earthlink.net
