It’s summertime and we want to hear about the songs that remind of you of the hazy, lazy, crazy days of summers past. Think about those great
tunes that take you back to the memories of going down to the ocean, dips in the pool and cookouts with family and friends. Whether a child of the 50s, 60s, 70s or beyond, share your favorite melody and for even more fun, share a photo of a nostalgic summer moment.
