In the Summertime.


In 1970 Lady M and I were still at college, where one of our good friends was a lovely Greek girl who would boil-up Greek Coffee in a little pot (in the studio), and play this record over and over again.

It now totally represents that year of our studies (our degree year), and brings back so many memories.

So here is Mungo Jerry (Ray Dorset singing), and their HUGE HIT; In the Summertime. Enjoy.

How on earth did you get a degree in one year?

This great Summer 70's song will always be on my 70's Summer playlists and it always turns up on my many 1970's CD compilations.
But how sad that the wokerati as in woke crowd, have partially outlawed it's airing on the radio simply for the song words in it, 'Go out for a drink and a drive, go out and see what you can find.'

They were.

In my case over 4 years.

I didn't know that it had been outlawed, but nothing surprises me.

Cro, Have you ever visited beautiful Canterbury in Kent?
I've just put up a picture post.

It has been criticized and debated but it hasn’t been banned you will be pleased to know.

There is a reason that take a drink and drive minimizes drinking when driving. Nothing to do with wokeness

I have indeed. I very nearly went to school there, but chose another with a similar name elsewhere.

I can't leave a comment on your page, but I've always thought of Canterbury as Kent's most beautiful city. Your photos prove it.
