Beach baby, beach baby
Give me your hand
Give me something that I can remember
Just like before we can walk by the shore in the moonlight
—“Beach Baby”
Lyrics by Bon Iver
Recorded by The First Class, 1974
Tomorrow, June 20, is the summer solstice—that time each year when the sun reaches its highest point in our skies. It’s also the longest day of the year (in terms of hours of sunlight), but best of all it means the first official day of summer has arrived!
How will you spend the day? Down at the beach, perhaps? Just be sure to bring your sunscreen, your trendy pandemic mask—and your anti-piranha spray!
