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.)

June 25, 2017 – Reds 6, Nats 2 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 35,387
Game Time: 3:07
Weather: 84 degrees, partly cloudy
Wind: 13 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Brian O'Nora, First Base - Quinn Wolcott, Second Base - Ramon DeJesus, Third Base - Paul Emmel
Seventh-inning stretch song: I Can’t Help Myself – The Four Tops
 
Highlights – Michael A. Taylor hit a 2-run homer in the 4th, his third tater in two days … Roark held the Reds to one run in his final 5 innings of work … Nats bullpen held Cincinnati scoreless over the final 3 innings … great James Brown medley during the Reds’ 8th-inning pitching change … a little hot in the sun for the first hour or so, but perfect weather otherwise
 
Other – Reds got more runs than they needed in a 5-run top of the first … Bryce contributed to the damage by misplaying a ball to deep right that allowed the final 2 runs to score … Nats offense blew some opportunities, going 0-5 with runners in scoring position … in the bottom of the 5th, Henley unwisely tried to score Brian Goodwin from first with no one out on Harper’s double … ice cream stand had no chocolate
