Salud dear reader, Happy Juneteenth, and, oh yes, summer has officially arrived! The Lovin’ Spoonfull did the original but Joe Cocker’s cover is so cool, even in the heat. Just to get us in the mood… Welcome to another walk around my brain, a brain overheated by a heat wave caused by a heat dome caused by global warming caused by man’s CO2 emissions, which, of course, we all know is a farce, cuz as any wingnut will tell you there is no such thing as global warming, science be damned. And for that matter, your own senses count for nothing either, so what if the glaciers are melting and the polar bears are gonna be extinct and every summer is hotter than the one before it and the seas are rising and we have more bigger stronger hurricanes than ever, and, and, and…
Thanks, Su. I love those recordings that evoke reams of emotions and memories with just a few introductory notes. A Summer Place is one of them. Now enjoy perpetual summer. I'm off to Mt. Hood.
Fantastic prose poem! Even though summer is my favorite season. Luckily I now live in almost perpetual summer, with a few dabs of spring thrown in for good measure. Thanks for the Percy Faith tune...I have not heard that melody for years and years but as soon as the first bar sounded the ball was bouncing. BTW: Mt. Hood just got 7 inches of snow. In June.
