So far, summer 2021 has kept up a strong theme of epic weather on major holiday weekends, and Independence Day weekend was no exception. Mother Nature gave Lady Liberty a run for her money, serving up thunder and lightning to rival Tuckerton’s spectacular Saturday evening fireworks display over Pohatcong Lake in Tip County Seaman Park.

The only sound louder than thunder and fireworks was the sound of music. Since everyone was already sporting their best swimwear, they continued to dance, unconcerned with rainfall. That’s the spirit, shore people!

Last week’s Sound Waves celebrated a variety of America’s great poets within the realm of music.
