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.)

July 3, 2016 – Nationals 12, Reds 1 – Nationals Park

Attendance: 37,328
Game Time: 3:08
Weather: 75 degrees, cloudy
Wind: 1 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Adrian Johnson, First Base - Ramon DeJesus, Second Base - Gary Cederstrom, Third Base - Eric Cooper
Seventh-inning stretch song: Can’t Stop The Feeling – Justin Timberlake
 
Highlights – in his return from the DL, Strasburg pitched 6 ⅔ hitless innings … Nats tied team record with 6 homers in the game, starting with a Wilson Ramos solo shot in the second … for the second time in 4 games, Danny Espinosa hit homers from each side of the plate, including a grand slam each time, totaling 15 RBI for the series (2 short of the major league record)
 
Other – was hot in the sun initially despite the mild temp, overcast and muggy later, with some light rain the last couple innings and on the way home … we arrived prior to the gates opening, beating most of the traffic and in time to get autograph vouchers (Rivero and Solis) … cheesesteak was better than I expected
