The lazy days of summer are here and having an impact on my productivity. Gardening, hanging out at the lake, reading my latest Kindle purchase on my back porch; these activities are calling my name. I may even take every Friday off for the rest of the summer.

There’s a feeling of freedom that come with summer, too, and probably harkens back to the carefree days of summer breaks from school. And music was the background of our lives – still is. So here are some summertime songs that you may or may not remember (depending on your age!)

Summer Love – Justin Timberlake 2007

Summer of ’69 – Bryan Adams – 1985

Summer Breeze – Seals and Crofts – 1975

Summer in the City – The Lovin’ Spoonful (even i was just a little kid when this came out)1966

And this little classic – Summertime (from Porgy and Bess) sung by Ella Fitzgerald in 1968
