Summer Tunes

I love listening to music all year long but even more in the summer with the sunshine, warm breeze and perhaps a cold drink in hand. I love to have the music blasting in the car with all of the windows down. To me, it's another sign that summer is here!

The first summer that I lived at Lakeside, Annie and I made CD mixes for each week we would be at the lake. Each one had at least 10 songs that were fun, upbeat and perfect for summer. The trailer has this great speaker system so we could listen to it on the deck or while we played ladder ball in the street. We always "debuted" each one on a Friday normally while we were preparing for a night out at the JT or the islands. I have so many wonderful memories of those summers at the lake and one of them is definitely the music we listened to.

This year, I wanted to do something similar but considering I haven't made a CD mix in awhile I thought I would make special Pandora stations for summer from my favorite songs or artists or ones recommended for top summer songs. Here are my new stations and the first one is fabulous because I started listening to it this weekend.

1. Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond)

2. Gin & Juice (Snoop Dogg)

3. Cecilia (Simon & Garfunkel)

4. Beautiful Girls (Sean Kingston)

5. I Love It (Icona Pop)

6. All Summer Long (Kid Rock)

7. Summer of '69 (Bryan Adams)

8. Party in the USA (Miley Cyrus)

9. Blurred Lines (Robin Thicke)

10. Call Me Maybe (Carly Rae Jepson)

11. Dancing Queen (ABBA)

12. The Beach Boys

13. Bruce Springsteen
