Summer In Stereo Review

HERC never realized just how long 100 days are until he accepted the challenge to post for 100 consecutive days. While it may no big deal to full-time, one post or more a day bloggers like John Book or Martin Maenza, it was a difficult and ultimately rewarding challenge for HERC.  He lost weight, he improved his writing discipline and he grew his loyal readership.  Thanks to everyone who stopped by, read, commented, guest posted(!!!) and encouraged HERC in this undertaking.  He couldn't and wouldn't have done it without you.  Below is a listing of all 100 Songs Of Summer posts and remember they are not ranked in any order other than the order they were drawn out of a hat - click on any number from 100 to 1 to be taken to that post. Or hit the 100 Songs Spotify playlist after the listing.  (In a mysterious turn of events, #86 is no longer available on Spotify despite being available when post was written back in early June. And #69 was never in Spotify's library.)
