1969

Via comment by Anonymous on Summertime by 13 Year Old Abby Ward "Speaking of "beach music" tunes. Having spent way too much of my youth in places like "The Cat's Eye" and "The Jolly Knave", I thought I knew the genre pretty well until about 10 years ago I heard this song, amazingly for the first time. It's now my favorite song in several categories. I imagine you know it but
it's pretty obscure.

Thanks and I remember this clear as a bell. I was driving my blue '67 Bluebird on the streets of Saigon one morning in 1969, that and Crystal Blue Persuasion.
