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.)

#142 Goodbye Train – Grayson Hugh (2014)


 
This is one that I discovered on a Carolina beach music station, most likely AM 770 “Big Wave Radio” in Rockingham NC. Since there were no DJs the first couple times I heard it, I had some difficulty trying to identify the song – finally wound up Googling a snatch of the lyrics. My only previous encounter with Grayson Hugh was via his 1989 single “Talk It Over”, which I never particularly cared for. This one, fortunately, is much better; according to the single solitary YouTube comment the last time I checked, “if this doesn't get your foot tapping or make you pound the dashboard like a piano, you better get your pulse checked!”
