Guestbook for the Summertime Connection

There IS something about this song....In some strange hauntingly beatiful way it seems to capture the essence of a life about to unfold... especially in Joplin's version. I can't listen to it without getting goosebumps.

Hi, I am a german musicain and I have made a version of summertime in my studio. Would you like to have it in your archive? I could send it to you as an mp3 file. If you like, please let me know.
Greetings
Vince

This is, without a doubt, the weirdest common interest that exists. Your hobby is more unreasonable than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. How can I get invovled?

Hi
Summertime means a lot to me as I have a cherished tape recording of me singing it accompanied by my father a few years before he passed on. It was always our party piece when out together with friends etc.Thanks for the memory. My husband heard about you on the radio in UK. Julie

Hi Scott,

It's Billy Stewart. You can hear the complete song on

The dates off the recordings are in our database. But it's not online.

What an incredible collection. I have been looking for the name of the artist that opens your mix when you open the website. Also, is there a place to find the names of artist by year?

Thanks

Dear Hans & Summertime Collectors,

Thanks Hans! So glad you found the video of Montana Skies performing Summertime on YouTube and you've added Montana Skies' version to your collection- we're honored to be a part of this great database!

I'll enjoy continuing to see what other versions you keep adding.
Best,
Jenn Adams

Great resource! I absolutely love this song and have been singing it for 20 years now as one my showpiece peformances. I mentioned your group in my introduction to my peformance of Summertime at a Broadway Revue in Mckinney, Texas.

Hallo Hans,

Bedankt voor je reactie in ons gastenboek. Laat ons in een mailtje ook eens weten of je vriendin Summertime ook al eens heeft opgenomen. Wij zijn daar altijd nieuwsgierig naar.


Groeten,
Henry

He hallo,

Wat een fantastisch idee!!
Ik vroeg me (met een collega) toevallig af hoeveel versie summertime er eigenlijk zijn. even surfen en voilà, heel veel.

Ik ga deze site zeker promoten, vooral bij mijn vriendin want dit is zo ongeveer haar favotiete Jazz-nummer (ze zingt zelf Jazz vandaar)

Keep up the good work!
