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.)

September 6, 2015 – Nationals 8, Braves 4 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 29,281
Game Time: 3:06
Weather: 84 degrees, sunny
Wind: 6 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Andy Fletcher, First Base - Clint Fagan, Second Base - Paul Emmel, Third Base - Jerry Meals
Seventh-inning stretch song: It’s Not Unusual – Tom Jones
 
Highlights – following the bottom of the ninth in the Mets-Marlins game by cellphone, which Martin Prado won for Miami on a walk-off sac fly after fouling off 6 straight 3-2 pitches from Clippard … 5-run second inning for the Nats to take the lead for good, featuring 2-run double by Taylor and 3-run homer by Werth … solo homers by Harper in the third and Rendon in the fourth … bullpen held the Braves scoreless over the last 4 innings … tried TaKorean for the first time (half-and-half bowl with brown rice, kimchi, and pork, plus a Jarritos lime soda)
 
Other – Joe Ross, showing signs of fatigue after a long season, wasn’t able to last 5 innings to get the victory … sloppy game overall, with 4 errors charged, plus a passed ball on a third strike
