Summer

 

As of today, it is June, the meterological beginning of summer, and the weather is with us. For the first time in a row, it has been warm, sunny and pleasant to sit outside, meet with friends and spend wonderful evenings. For me, there is nothing better than enjoying this time of the year. I've been thinking about which songs make the start of the new season easy for me, but there are too many of them to rank. With this in mind, just a few songs that came to mind ad hoc and without completeness or ranking. A good start into the new season to all.

Live Music On German TV

The Motels were a new wave band from Los Angeles with their most successful time in the late 70s/early 80s. I don't know the reason why just this band was so hip in these days in the town I lived in these times. Maybe because of the voice of Martha  Davis, that they put them together with the now sound or just because they wrote a lot of classic songs. For me it was Martha Davis voice that impress me still. Seeing them live on TV feels good after all these years.
