Long Hot Summer - Songs 1983

Another mix from 1983 and all of these songs I played from the sound booth in the artist hangout dive bar down the street from the state college I worked at throughout the 1980s. I loved spinning records for people not just when the dance floor was hopping but also when folks were just hanging out at our large round bar. From my sound booth overlooked both the bar area and the dance floor. It was always fun but working in bars that stayed open until 4 am was a bit much sometimes. On a slower night I could get out at 2.
