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.)

Owen Danoff – AMP, 4/15/2017


As our party of four had “VIP” tickets, we got great seats (front row of tables, in the center). Owen had the same two bandmates as at the November show I attended, but this one was somewhat longer (about 75 minutes) and included a few new songs, which were good enough that I forgave him for not performing “Hometown Headstone”. In addition to the opening “(If I Had A) Starship” (after which he expressed disappointment that so few of us had yet seen the recently-released trailer for the upcoming Star Wars movie), and the usual solo take on “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right”, highlights included 3 great covers: Leonard Cohen’s classic “Hallelulah”, Van Morrison’s “Crazy Love” (which I hadn’t heard in quite a while), and a kick-ass version of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues” as the first encore.
