As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

Rice University just hired Mike Rhoades as their head men’s basketball coach. Rhoades was most recently the associate head coach to Shaka Smart at VCU.

The story doesn’t mention that Rhoades graduated from my alma mater, Lebanon Valley College, and in 1994 led the Flying Dutchmen to the NCAA Division III national championship.

So, Mike Rhoades, we salute you, despite not spelling your last name correctly.   ;-)
