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.)

Mary Chapin Carpenter Trio w/ Lúnasa, Weinberg Center for the Arts (Frederick MD), 4/26/2015


Rear Orchestra Right, Row FF, Seat 6 (lower level, near the rear)
 
Highlights – song selection slanted towards favorites “from last century” … the seldom-heard “Rhythm of the Blues” … “The Hard Way” and “I Take My Chances” to finish the main set … “I Feel Lucky” and “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her” (with Lúnasa) as the encores .. mid-set Q&A session (we now know that she doesn’t handle jet lag all that well, and that John Jennings is “doing well”) … the intriguing “Pizza Elvis” at Brewer’s Alley
 
Other – hard to get used to Jon Carroll being to our left on the stage (other trio member John Doyle was in Carroll’s usual spot to our right) … is every restaurant in downtown Frederick packed every evening? (There was a line at Brewer’s Alley, but we were fortunate to snag a table in the bar area 10 minutes or so after we arrived, and the service was prompt)
