With the unofficial start of summer now officially underway, it's time to prime your summer playlists and get ready to experience the sounds of summer and all things associated with it with MusicBoxPete's annual Summer playlist. This year's group of songs represents the spirit and enthusiasm of the summer with warm weather, beaches, BBQ's, and beer among some of the most checkmarked items and activities on most people's minds.
