Like an old termite-ridden stump, summer 2019 is burned up.
We planned to spend as much of the summer outdoors as possible. We did that. I didn’t want to use the precious summer months pounding out words about music. So I wrote as much as I felt like. I didn’t get to comment as much. I had to sacrifice something to make the most of my favourite season. Music was there with us every day. I just wanted to enjoy the moments instead of figuring out how to write them down.
Hard to believe another summer has burned away.
There was no single artist who dominated this summer (like Blotto did in 2018). We enjoyed a variety of Van Halen, Judas Priest, Stompin’ Tom, Whitesnake, Deep Purple, Rainbow, and Helix without rhyme or reason.
It’s already getting colder. The nights are starting sooner. I can feel the end of the season creeping, and our summer at the lake is over.
At least we made the most of it.
Sounds like a nice summer. This year I recall listening to Distance Over Time a lot and Hexed by Children of Bodom and From Hell with Love by Beast In Black.

Nice. I have not given Distance Over Time a chance yet. I still feel stuck a few albums back.

Hey KK! Yes I have that album, and I even mentioned them a few weeks back when discussing tribute bands!

Glad you got to spend some time at the lake – and nice to see Stompin’ Tom on that summer playlist too!

I hardly wrote at all this summer (like past summers…). Summer is always so busy for us.
