With school, around here, just out for the summer, it got me thinking about songs about school. I decided to list some of my favorites here. There are songs here for them, whether they are just beginning, starting a new grade, beginning High School/College, or graduating. Enjoy part one.

My 6th inductee of 2023, in my Doyle’s Space Music Hall of Fame, and my 18th inductee overall is The Beach Boys.
The Beach Boys, an iconic American rock band, emerged in the early 1960s and quickly became synonymous with the California sound, surf music, and intricate harmonies.
