Yesterday was a gorgeous day in Northern California, the kind of day that promises that summer picnics, vineyards full of grapes and trips to the beach are near. The sky was a deep blue and all the doors and windows were open. Neighbors were walking their dogs, working in their yards, washing cars and readying their barbecues for a season of grilled chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs.
The two young men across the street were fixing an old automobile. The front car door was left open so they could listen to the CD player while they worked. I recognized all the music playing. It was the music from my life...from the 60s and 70s - Van Morrison, Creedence Clearwater, Buffalo Springfield and the fabulous Bob Marley. Now I am quite sure that neither were born in the 70s. They were probably not born until the mid 80s or maybe even the early 90s. It's their parents house so I am guessing it's also Dad and Mom's playlist. I love it when there's music in the air and I know the words to all the songs. And yes it definitely got me up and dancing.
The Playlist...
Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress - The Hollies 
Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
Spirit In the Sky - Norman Greenbaum
Brandy - Looking Glass
Swingtown - Steve Miller Band
Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Up Around the Bend - Creedence Clearwater Revival
The House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield
Get Up, Stand Up - Bob Marley and the Wailers
So what gets you up and dancing around the house?
