FIRST:
You'll want to sing along with Bill, John, Don, Al Alberts and his crew on the second verse of On The Way To Cape May! Here are the lyrics so you can join in:
On the way to Cape May, I fell in love with you
On the way to Cape May, I saw my dreams come true
I was taken by your smile, as we drifted by Sea Isle
My heart was gone when we reached Avalon
On the way to Cape May, Stone Harbor's skies were blue
We were naming the day when Wildwood came in view
If you're gonna be my spouse, we'd better head for that Court House
On the way to Cape May
On the way to Cape May

You'll probably want to keep summer going even after the last notes of the Summer Music Spectacular have faded into the setting summer sun. No worries! Get over to You Tube and check out these summer tunes recommended by Bill:
