SUMMER SONGS
by KM Wilsher

Had a boyfriend once. (Yeah, know it’s hard to remember, but I have had boyfriends. . .it’s just a dry season) And he had this thing. He liked to pull the Billboard Music Charts for the week you were born and see what songs were released that week. They have all the charts at the library (let me know if you can find them online-I couldn’t)
My day in 1967 – “The Summer of Love” The “hippie” movement was supposedly started early that year. The Doors released LIGHT MY FIRE. The Monterrey International Festival in June would feature a new artist: Jimmy Hendrix.
However, the week I was born Van Morrison’s, BROWN EYED GIRL, hit the charts. (Is it a wonder I have brown eyes?)

What a summer to be born, yeah? The Summer of Love.

Do you know any songs from the year you were born? Lemme know! Next time you are at the library, check out the Billboard Charts!
