My Google Calendar reminded me that I usually write a Summer Tunes blog and playlist. Now, I realize I'm late for your July 4th barbecue, but there's still plenty of summer days ahead to give this a spin.

This year's playlist influences have me including some themes of baseball as my grandsons have played on their respective little league all-star teams this summer. Mary Kit and I have renewed our annual San Diego Zoo passes, and I've even purchased a gorilla beach hat recently to protect me from the sun this summer. Even got James Taylor's Gorilla (1975) mixed with some zoo video I shot last Saturday that's included in the playlist.
I also started watching Bruce Brown's Endless Summer on YouTube the other night and decided to add the whole movie here at the end of the playlist this year as I usually end the summer mix with that theme song.
Enjoy this year's mix, not to mention my past summers of inspired songs my friends.
Let's just call it July 4th week and start the summer party! Fire up the bar-be-cue and soak up the sun pilgrims! Now don't forget to crank up the music and enjoy my third installment of Summer Tunes! In fact, don't hesitate to play my other two Summer Tunes playlists as you sip on your favorite summer drink and take some time to relax.
Here's my latest favorite summer concoction!
Doug's Lazy Daze
Get in your car and turn on the AC.
Go to the nearest McDonalds' drive through.
Order a Large Mango/Pineapple Smoothie, or the number for as many who are drinking back at the house.
Drive home quickly, but carefully.
Go to your liquor cabinet (oh yes you do), and select your favorite brand of tequila or vodka.
Don't bother to pour the smoothie into a pretty glass, time's a wastin'.
Stir in gently whatever amount of tequila or vodka you want, if it's overflowing... maybe you have a bigger problem!
Put on Doug's latest Summer Tunes playlist, and as always, enjoy my friends!
I'm listening to the Norah Jones song, Toes and it just hits me, why haven't I created a summer mix playlist every summer like I've done with my Christmas Mix since 2015?
Wait a minute, let the old brain clear out the cobwebs, actually I've kind of done that. I went back into the MMM archives and sure enough found that I had built up a playlist over a couple of summers in 2018 and 2019 called, Summer Tunes. I cleaned out the deleted files and cut the playlist down to just under 100 songs.
Then, I created a new playlist for 2022 as I'm a little late to the party publishing this new summer playlist in August, but I think it's worth the wait.
I would suggest you have a little OUTDOOR summer barbecue this month with only people in your inner circle because of the BA 5 thing, and play both playlists at your party!
I have even embedded both playlists right here because you'll have had several drinks at your party, and won't be able to find the other one.
Enjoy my friends! Hope I can remember to make a new playlist next summer?

Summer Tunes is a playlist I started last year. Here's a major update with just under 100 YouTube videos that is the perfect long-playlist for any summer activity. Enjoy my friends!
T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs We've been having fun all summer long Brian Wilson
Updated - Okay, starting week two of summer tunes as I have been busy on the YouTubes collecting nearly a 100 different eclectic videos for your summertime listening pleasure! This week I really got into watching Beach Boys videos, stories and just enjoying the music of Brian Wilson. Brian's one of rock 'n' rolls greatest artists and a fascinating character to put it mildly. I love this picture of him and wish him as much happiness as he has given all of us with his music! Please make some time this summer to relax, maybe next to a body of water, and listen to some music. Enjoy my friends!
