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 11, 2016 – Frederick Keys 11, Winston-Salem Dash 7 – Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium


 
Umpires: HP: Chris Scott. 1B: Chris Marco.
Weather: 82 degrees, partly cloudy.
Wind: 1 mph, Varies.
First pitch: 2:03 PM.
Time: 2:56.
Attendance: 3,228.
 
Section 203, Row J, Seat 1 – third row in front of the concourse (in the shade), not too far down the first base line
 
Highlights – in the three Keys games I’ve seen this year (all victories), they’ve scored 8, 12, and 11 runs … this was a game Earl Weaver would have loved, as most of the Frederick runs came via a third-inning grand slam by Cameron Kneeland and a three-run shot in the sixth by D.J. Stewart … relievers Jeff Beliveau and Ryan Meisinger blanked the visitors over the last 4 innings, fanning 7 … weather was wonderful, as was the traffic both ways
 
Other – Winston-Salem had a 7-5 lead after 4, as Frederick starter Franderlin Romero was battered for 10 hits and 6 runs in 3⅔ innings … didn’t seem as if there were close to 3,000 actual bodies in the stands
