Song 778: This week on the playlist you can hear In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry, written by Ray Dorset, and you can find a cool YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. At the end of my freshman year at Northwestern University, I returned to my parents' home in upstate NY for the 1970 summer vacation, and then got hired as a counselor for a northern PA music and arts camp. I spent the warmer months in a very attractive rural area, and I liked helping youngsters have a better understanding of the way musical notes ride their scales. Sometimes we counselors would listen to the radio during our breaks, and this heated seasonal description often gave us a clearer sense of our comfortable dwelling. In fact, it occasionally made us feel that we could stretch right up and touch the sky, and it also encouraged us to go out and see what we could find nearby in that woodland area.
