The Ripple Effect: The Music Commentary Radio Show  

Ah, summer.

Sunshine, pool parties, BBQ's and cookouts. Softball games, beer, 3rd degree sunburn, and pulled hamstrings. Nothing quite like it.

Personally, my idea of summer fun it to jump right into that hammock you see right outside the Ripple office and drift off to the sounds of the ocean crashing against the sand. After the nap, stroll on down to the water, grab a cold one with my buddy the Pope, call up up Woody, Iguana, and Winston, and join in on the Ripple office beach party. But that's just me. Whatever it is that you like to do, what we've got here is the sounds to fill summer days. Gather your friends for some dogs and horseshoes, some crawdads and corn, or some brisket and beer. It's all good, and this is the music that'll make it all go down just a little smoother.

Don't know exactly what it is, but there's just something about a country beat, a singing slide guitar, a wailing fiddle, a rootsy voice or chiming mandolin that just cries out relaxing summer fun. So, with that in mind, let's dig into what sounds await your next backyard party.
