music is important to me all year around. every day, truthfully. when i walk to and from work, ride the subway, clean my apartment, get dressed, cook, etc. with that said, music is especially distinguished and memorable in the summer time. each of these songs below are either nostalgic memories from summers now past of playing in pools and swimming off of peanut island, or more current reminiscences of my life here in nyc; like grabbing  iced coffees and walking around the jackie onassis reservoir people and nature watching- happy, and alone.
