Being that my name is Sommer (Summer with an O) can you guess just how many “summer” songs have been sung to me in the course of my life?

An unfathomable number, I tell you.

The most common serenades are:

Ella Fitzgerald’s version of  Summertime

Bananarama’s Cruel Summer

And Summer Lovin’ (Summer Nights) from the musical Grease

Although I have heard some really creative versions.

People are so darn funny, always believing they are the first personal to ever think to sing these songs to me. I just smile and let them have their moment.

I’m nice like that. (P.S. I’ve also been called Winter, Spring and Autumn an ungodly number of times.)

Even with this slightly irritating musical history, I still love a good summer anthem.

Especially the old soulful versions of Summertime, smooth and sultry. While listening to them, I can almost feel myself rocking on a front porch in the sweltering heat of a summer evening.

Summertime, and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy’s rich and your ma is good-lookin’
So hush little baby, Don’t you cry

Like a Cobb Salad.

You can grill the chicken while chopping the veggies.

Or do what I do, and plan your weekly menu so that you make it on the night after you’ve served chicken. Then just save a couple pieces for the salad.
