It’s midway through September here in the Silicon Valley and it is HOT!  The last couple of weeks have seen abnormally hot weather, not only in the valley, but even along the peninsula.  Usually we will get one, maybe two weeks of above 90 degree heat during the late July and early August months, but not this year.  Much of the heat arrived in late August and September.

I’m not a weather man, but I’m thinking this Indian summer is going to turn into a cold, cold winter.  We didn’t have much snow on the ground last year in Tahoe and I think ol’ Mother Nature is gearing up for a cold, wet winter this year.  We can sure use it to put snow on the mountains and water in our lakes.

All this heat got me thinking about Michael Franti & Spearhead and their song, “The Sound of Sunshine.”  Michael has a variety of great, upbeat songs that just want to get you moving, especially during the summertime.  His music mixes hip hop, with funk, jazz and reggae.  Born and raised in Oakland, CA, right here in the Bay Area, Michael Franti has been releasing music since 1992.  If you’re looking for songs that will purely make you smile, I recommend you check out some of Michael Franti & Spearhead’s song.
