Re: [IRCA] Broadcaster/DXer relationship

["chris and anne" <tantwo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow, we have a celebrity in our midst....The Jamies who sang:  "It's sum sum 
sum sum sum sum summertime....It's time to head straight for the hills, it's 
time to laugh and have some thrills.......because it's summertime.."  As I 
remember, that song charted twice....once in '58 or so and again in '62, 
when I was finishing H.S.  God, I'm gettin' old !!   73, Thanks for 
sharing.....from another guy who doesn't QSL....just enjoys the memories !!
