When we hit LBI, the kids (Desi and friends) immediately went to the beach. So...how about lunch? Off to Nardi's, a place we had never tried, to find a. wonderful service, b. good food, and a nearly empty place that had OUR music playing. Thanks to my daughter, I am still enjoying modern music, but SUMMER music belongs to another day. My sister grew up with the Beach Boys, so that was a natural...and still gets new fans every year. Jimmy Buffet gave us Margaritaville, and the parrotheads...and the Go Go's gave us Vacation.

What's interesting is that music hooks us to memories too. See You In September? Summer In The City? A lot of one hit wonder groups gave us the tunes we still groove to,
