Rockaway Beach

NYC, in the late seventies was a magic time for music. Everywhere kids thrashed out jams of teenage angst, none more catchy than the Ramones.  You could make a quick song about the simple joys of life – escaping to the beach from the dirty dungeon of humid summer in New York.  I grew up by the beach and spent every day there in the summer.  The scent in the air and on your skin after a dip in the water will always be home to me.
