This is for Friday Faithfuls
where the theme is
“Summer Solstice”
Check out Jim’s site; you’ll learn a lot about many different things. Today he’s discussing the Summer Solstice.
I know a little about a lot of things and a lot about a few things. Jim Adams knows a lot about a lot of things; that’s why I affectionately call him The Professor.
Thanks for all the info, Jim! You’re the best!
It’s that Summertime Song, kids. Knock yourselves out!

We are icy-poles apart, Nancy … today it’s our winter solstice …
Winter Solstice
The winter sun subsides
Behind white frosty clouds
And the cold setting light
Submerges under twilight’s
Curtain of icy darkness

Maybe it’s because I’m a Brit but nothing says ‘summertime’ to me better than Mungo Jerry!

That’s a great song! The one I chose was just for fun; nobody likes it! 😂
This one’s much better:

It is indeed! I played both that and Mungo Jerry in a Tuesday Tunes post four years ago. Maybe I’ll update and rework them, as long as our current good weather lasts!

I remember this 1958 doo wop song by the Jamies, and it was also covered by Jan and Dean and Sha Na Na. Now I want to hear Mongo Jerry, thanks for joining in, Nancy.
