147: Summertime!

Hi.
-
Today SUMMER 2008 officially has started!
-
No better way to celebrate that with
a first all-10-Summertime versions post.
(actually 11, 'cause I threw in an ultra short
version by Roland Kirk as a bonus:-)
-
I already mentioned (way back) that I really love
the song and collect as many versions as possible.
Sometimes they're rather dull & sometimes they're just brilliant.
Today I have 11 very different versions,
all on the more brilliant side:
a brassy work out,
a nice soulful contribution from Vincent The Soul Chef,
a GREAT fluted version,
a guitar version,
a baritone-sax version,
a version done over Whipping Post,
(hearing = believing!)
a kinda "Rufusized" version,
a reggae version,
2 loungy versions
and ofcourse that Kirk, doing it so small & heartfelt...
-
Enjoy these first sounds of all Summertime to come.
