Oldies: Pass the Fritos V

Is it any wonder ancient peoples worshipped the sun? The light, warmth, and life the sun provides our world is so awe-inspiring. The days are growing longer now and as we in the northern hemisphere move ever closer to the sun, I am reminded of warm afternoons and pleasant evenings past and the far out oldies music which for me always sounds so sweet on sacred summer days and nights.

Despite my dislike and distrust of the spring, I do prefer living in regions where there are four distinct seasons. Right now I’m living in the Middle East but am looking forward to travelling to New York and Virginia later this summer with my family to drive down to the beach, bike through the park, and sit under the stars. Here are some more of my favorite groovy oldies songs. Enjoy!
