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 7, 2016 – Marlins 6, Nationals 4 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 41,650
Game Time: 3:32 (delayed 1 hour, 25 minutes by rain in the second inning)
Weather: 61 degrees, cloudy (but MUCH colder after the storm hit)
Wind: 11 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Lance Barksdale, First Base - Will Little, Second Base - Ted Barrett, Third Base - Toby Basner
Seventh-inning stretch song: It’s Not Unusual – Tom Jones (a welcome return from 2015)
 
Section 135, Row NN, Seats 10-13
 
Highlights – our seats were under cover … Daniel Murphy smashed a bases-loaded triple in the bottom of the first, matching the three runs Miami scored in the top of the frame … Bryce Harper got his MVP, Silver Slugger, and the keys to the city prior to the game, and later contributed two walks and a seventh-inning homer
 
Other – our seats being under cover didn’t help much when the wind and rain kicked up, as they evacuated the stands … the 100-level concourse was no place for the claustrophobic during the rain delay, as it was almost impossible to move … we were all surprised that Dusty brought starting pitcher Tanner Roark back after the long delay … Roark was hit often although not always hard during his 4-inning, 99-pitch stint, giving up 9 hits and 3 walks … the Nats managed only 6 hits for the game, wasting most of the 9 walks they drew
