What makes a good summer song? Is it a hook? Is it a catchy chorus? Do the song lyrics need to be specifically about summer?

Some shows:

Nightfall will be rocking tonight with the Whigs and the Bohannons. Showtime is 7 p.m. at Miller Plaza. Admission is free.

Storytelling Singer/Songwriter Alan Rhody is at Charles n’ Myrtles’ coffeehouse on Saturday night. Expect soft, story songs. Admission is by donation. The show is at 8 p.m.
