Summer's End

We were going to share two albums with you for the Summer End post. After investigating their availablity and respect to copywrite laws, we are only allowed to post their covers and offer links to purchase them on your own.

We'll be out of commission for a couple of weeks that includes the Labor Day holiday while friends will be visiting. We're bound to be listening to these fine recordings:


Al Albert's Summer Sing-a-long. You may recognize this artist name from as the lead to the Four Aces. This album is a huge favorite to the southern NJ shore area. As we might be traveling to Cape May, we might just pop on Al and his hit, "On the Way to Cape May".







As friends are visiting, we'll probably break-out one of the greatest duet teams of the late 70's, Johnny Mathis and Denice Williams. Released in 1978, That's What Friends are For. To our friends all over, have a great Summer's End.
