Well I am not sure why the earlier thread was pulled but after three days of cold, raw weather here in New England, we are about to go up into the 90s starting tomorrow.

In honor of the first HOT weekend of the year, I would like to present Hot Summer Nights by Night.

Now not many people will remember this song but it got heavy airplay in the Boston area during the summer of 1979. That was a special summer for me. I was just 17 years old and had gotten my driver's license that year and I drove up and down Revere Beach that summer on HOT SUMMER NIGHTS with the windows rolled down in my father's car. Had lots of fried clams at Kelly's Roast Beef and this song (along with "My Sharona") seemed to be blasting out of every radio speaker all that summer long.

I remember that song very well, it got heavy air play in Northern Indiana as well. We got soaked here in Cincinnati and now have been in the 90's for the past two days. Turned on the AC today for the first time this year... should sleep very nicely tonight! Only two weeks until Summer... geez, what happened to Spring?
