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 27, 2017 – Nats 6, Cubs 1 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 31,202 (below the team’s season average)
Game Time: 3:09
Weather: 79 degrees, partly cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Larry Vanover, First Base - Tim Timmons, Second Base - Chad Fairchild, Third Base - David Rackley
 
Highlights – Nats scored in 4 of the first 5 innings, chasing Jake Arrieta in the fifth … Trea Turner tied his career best with 4 steals, and the Nats set a team record with 7 stolen bases off Arrieta and soon-to-be-ex-Cub Miguel Montero … Taylor finished off the scoring with a 2-run double … after giving up a first-inning run, Scherzer blanked the Cubs through the end of the 6th, allowing only one more baserunner … Nats bullpen held the visitors scoreless over the final 3 innings
 
Other – left Rockville around 4:45 and didn’t get into the park until shortly after 7:00, as traffic crawled both on Falls Road and much of the way down the GW Parkway
