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.)

May 15, 2016 – Marlins 5, Nationals 1 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 36,786
Game Time: 3:03
Weather: 59 degrees, partly cloudy
Wind: 21 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Alfonso Marquez, First Base - Chris Guccione, Second Base - David Rackley, Third Base - Larry Vanover
Seventh-inning stretch song: What I Like About You – The Romantics
 
Highlights – sun was out (!) … not as cold and windy as expected (at least not in our section) … less traffic than usual going down the GW Parkway (probably because I left at 10:45) … ran into the senior member of the Schroeder clan while walking around the concourse … Nats did score a run on Ryan Zimmerman’s inside-the-park homer (Ozuna and Stanton tripped each other up trying for the catch, but fortunately both stayed in the game)
 
Other – Marlins got one more run than they needed in the third, when Stephen Drew lost a routine two-out popup in the sun … added 3 more in the sixth on a solo homer by Stanton and a bases-loaded single by Jose Fernandez (who fanned 11 in his 7 innings of work) … Nats threatened off the Miami bullpen in the 8th and 9th but failed to score
