This is the sort of weather that brings out men wearing Bermuda shorts who should never be seen in Bermuda shorts. That reminded us, however, of a fine if little known recording by the Moe Koffman quartet called "Bermuda Schwartz," featuring a blistering guitar solo by Ed Bickert.
This is also the sort of weather that brings forth girls in their summer dresses, which happens to be the title of an excellent story by Irwin Shaw--"Girls in Their Summer Dresses," one of Shaw's many wonderful short stories, including "Search Through the Streets of the City," "Tip on a Dead Jockey" and "The 80-Yard Run."
Look for them on your book shelf, turn on the fans, and pour yourself a frozen daiquiri. And feel free to wear your Bermuda shorts. Just don't go outdoors.
