Sound of Summer

We frequently hear the ice cream truck going through our neighborhood. 
Guess what the driver was doing - eating an ice cream bar!

I associate the tune "Greensleeves" with ice cream trucks. Why is that tune used?  A blogger pondered that question hereHere's an interesting article about ice cream trucks and music. 

I have vague memories of the ice cream truck on Oak Street in the summer. We didn't have money for those kinds of treats. But it was a happy, summer sound.

Did you know that Joe sold ice cream from a bicycle cart one summer? He said it was the summer between 8th & 9th grade when he was living in Indianapolis, Indiana with his grandparents, Alonzo (Trapper) and Elizabeth (Mamaw) Neely. He thinks he sold it all summer.
