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 14, 2017 – Phillies 4, Nats 3 (Game 1) – Nationals Park

Attendance: 31,738
Game Time: 3:02
Weather: 74 degrees, sunny
Wind: 13 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Hunter Wendelstedt, First Base - Chris Segal, Second Base - Alan Porter, Third Base - Joe West
 
Notes – Gio struggled with high pitch counts the first couple of innings, but didn’t allow a run until Tommy Joseph took him deep in the 7th … by that time, the Nats had built a 3-0 lead off Hellickson on a Harper solo shot in the 1st and a 2-run blast by Turner in the 5th … Matt Albers got the final out of the 7th and combined with Enny Romero to keep the Phils off the board in the 8th … Phillies finally broke through against the Nats beleaguered bullpen in the 9th, as Aaron Altherr led off with a homer off Kelley, followed by hard-hit doubles by Franco and Rupp to tie things up … after Kelley walked Galvis, Koda Glover came in and gave up a game-deciding single to the seldom-used Ty Kelly … 3 Phils relievers held the Nats scoreless over the final 4 innings (with Neris getting the save), despite combining with Hellickson to fan only one Nationals batter the entire game
 
Other – beautiful Mother’s Day weather for what turned out to be two ballgames, as Friday’s game (to which we had tickets) featuring a Trea Turner bobblehead giveaway was postponed and rescheduled for Sunday night … we left the park after Game 1 of the split double-header and immediately got into the (then relatively short) Season Plan Holder line outside the left field gate … all of the lines got incredibly long as the 6:10 gate opening time approached, and reportedly things got somewhat cutthroat and testy
