NAME THAT TUNE:

"I purchased my first true guitar in a small local retail establishment
I practiced on it excessively, during the hottest months of that year.
I was in a band at the time, with my scholastic chums. We did our best
eventually the others fell by the wayside. That's life, should've expected it.
As I reminisce, that season seemed interminable.
And given my druthers, that's where I'd be right now.
Those halcyon days surpassed all that came after.
Affirmative! Back during the hottest months of that particular year."

J-Bird gets on the board with the "tardy but correct answer" bonus of 0.3 points!

The tally now stands at:

Mel: 5
Ell: 3.3
Sean: 1

Man, what bothers me is I can't guess these.
