Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

It wouldn't be a summer mix without:
- "In the Summertime" - Mungo Jerry
- "Sunny Afternoon" - The Kinks
- "Cruel Summer" - Bananarama
- "Under the Boardwalk" -- any version, really
- "Indian Lake" -- the Cowsills
Oh, incidentally, while looking up the Cowsills on Wikipedia, I found out the sad news that Barry Cowsill drowned during Katrina in NO.
