It's almost that magical time of year again. When kids get out of school, college students come back home, and adults make the most of those vacation hours. Yeah, I'm talking about the summer. If you are like me, then you look forward to the annual great summer barbecue. There is always good food and great conversations, but the quintessential element of this BBQ is definitely the playlist. The music choice is what sets the good BBQ's apart from the terrible ones. As someone who has been to many summer barbecues, I would call myself an expert on the perfect mix to create for your barbecue.
