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.)

July 4, 2017 – Nats 11, Mets 4 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 37,120
Game Time: 3:17
Weather: 84 degrees, cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Carlos Torres, First Base - John Libka, Second Base - Dana DeMuth, Third Base - Paul Nauert
Seventh-inning stretch song: Living In America – James Brown
 
Section 220, Row H, Seat 17 – club level (a long story) behind first base, in the shade
 
Highlights – after giving up a homer to the first batter he faced and allowing multiple baserunners in each of the first 4 innings, Joe Ross completed 7 innings, allowing only 2 runs … Nats started scoring in the third on 2-out RBI singles by Harper and Murphy … also put up curly numbers in the 5th, 6th, and 8th, notching double-digit runs for the 14th time this season … Met-killer Murphy wound up with 4 hits and 5 RBI … Rockettes put on a short performance before the game, and another one between innings
 
Other – “be sure to drive over the white box on the way out of the parking lot”
