About The First Day of Summer

When I was a young boy, our family would make a yearly trip from Eagle Pass, Texas, to Elgin, Illinois on the first day of summer. I remember counting the days until I would be able to see my cousins and friends. Those were some of the best days of my life, and this piece depicts all of the good times and memories that are still with me to this day.
