"Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight, Shinin' through the trees, Crickets are singin' and lightning bugs are floatin'
​on the breeze, baby get ready.  Spring is almost over and the summer's come. And the days are gettin' long . . . "
'Fishin' in The Dark' by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (tribute by Bonn E Maiy)
