Beach Songs . . . from the Way Back Machine

When I think of "beach music" . . . I think back to my teen-age days . . . about "laying out" in the sunshine . . . slathered in Baby Oil . . . on my family's cement slab of a patio . . . with the radio blasting. 

My "beach music" was never at a beach, though.  Heck.  I lived in Wyoming back then.  Not a lot of beach!

Today, as Carole has us thinking about our Favorite Beach Songs, I offer this list:  The radio playlist of my high school, sun-seeker days; the days of Baby Oil and portable radios.  The songs that will always, always take me back to that hot, slab of cement.  My beach.

Pass the Bain de Soleil, would'ja?
