Jason Aldean – Dirt Road Anthem
While we have another rather cloudy but mild evening, the longer evenings make me dream of delightful summer evenings.
Music
Chris Janson – “Buy Me A Boat” (Official Video).
Peter, Paul & Mary – If I Had A Hammer.
As a kid, I played this song so much that I wore the groove off of my parent's album.
The Day The Music Died – YouTube.
This video looks back on the day the music died in 1959, with the deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson i a plain crash.

This version of the song is vastly better then the later version by Linda Ronstadt.
Simon & Garfunkel – The Sounds Of Silence – YouTube.
This week a half century ago, Simon and Garfunkel's The Sound of Silence was the number one song on the radio based on the redubbed single that was released fall of 1965.
The 1966 album of the same title -- featuring this song -- and many other classics like Kathy's Song and Anji were released two weeks later on January 17, 1966.
