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.)

April 10, 2016 – Nationals 4, Marlins 2 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 24,593
Game Time: 2:52
Weather: 43 degrees, sunny
Wind: 2 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Will Little, First Base - Ted Barrett, Second Base - Toby Basner, Third Base - Lance Barksdale
Seventh-inning stretch song: Actually went with an extended, old-timey version of Take Me Out To The Ballgame (perhaps a one-time experiment, as it was impossible to sing along to)
 
Section 308, Row D, Seats 9-11 (our new “regular” section for the year)
 
Highlights – not exactly warm, but a sunny day with absolutely no rain for a change … due to Saturday’s weather-related postponement, I wound up being at the first 4 games the Nats played at home this year (2 exhibition + 2 regular-season) … after allowing a leadoff triple to Dee Gordon, Joe Ross settled down to pitch 7 strong innings, blanking the Marlins after allowing one run in the first … Nats got that run right back courtesy of a Rendon single and a Harper double … Nats finally broke through in the bottom of the seventh, when Werth drove in one run with a bases-loaded single (for his first hit of the year) and Clint Robinson provided some insurance by singling in two more … Papelbon converted his third save despite allowing a Christian Yelich homer
 
Other – the Nashville fried chicken sandwich from Mike Isabella’s new Catchfly Kitchen was good, although seriously overpriced at $14 (the BBQ ribs were a breath-taking $18)
