Kenny Chesney No Shoes RadioHappy Labor Day 2024!

It’s a great day (weekend) to listen to No Shoes Radio on my AfterShokz Aeropex bone conduction headset. For those unfamiliar with them, I’ve been a fan of the “open ear” headset concept since 2017 as they’ve been super helpful in returning “some” vibration hearing back to my deaf right ear and are affordable. Also they are comfortable and helpful in keeping my “good” left ear open to noise and voices … besides it doubles as a phone headset because it has a microphone!

“Marina Del Rey”

Back to Kenny Chesney‘s No Shoes Radio and his 2004 version of country music’s superstar George Strait’s 1982 hit “Marina Del Rey.”
   

  George Strait – “Marina Del Rey” | 1982

Marina del Rey” is a song recorded by American country music artist George Strait. It was released in September 1982 as the second single from his album George StraitStrait from the Heart, which went on to be certified platinum by the RIAA. It peaked at number 6 in the United States, and number 2 in Canada. The song is set in Marina del Rey, California, and it is structured as a slow romantic ballad. Longtime country songwriters Frank Dycus and Dean Dillon composed the tune.

The song is about a love affair on the beach. A man and a woman get together and have a good time during a vacation. They create many memories and then go their separate ways – back to their normal lives.
