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.)

Jim Hall

I'm certainly not the world's biggest jazz fan or expert, but I was saddened last week to hear that one of my favorites, jazz guitarist Jim Hall, had died. I particularly enjoyed his work with Paul Desmond and on the CTI record label. His 1975 Concierto album, featuring his version of Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez," is wonderful, a must-have for any jazz aficionado.
