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.)

August 27, 2017 – Mets 6, Nats 5 (Game 1 of split double-header) – Nationals Park

Attendance: 31,904
Game Time: 3:34
Weather: 75 degrees, partly cloudy
Wind: 6 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Andy Fletcher, First Base - Ramon DeJesus, Second Base - Nic Lentz, Third Base - Bill Welke
Seventh-inning stretch song:  The Twist – Chubby Checker 

Game notes – Nats fell into an early hole when emergency starter Erick Fedde yielded an infield single, hit batter and 3-run homer (by Asdrubal Cabrera) before retiring a batter in the first … a 2-run shot by Wilmer Flores made it 5-0 in the third … Nats fought back in the middle innings and finally tied the game in the bottom of the seventh, but Amed Rosario homered off Joe Blanton in the 8th for what turned out to be the winning run … Nats provided some excitement with two outs in the 9th, when Lind got a pinch single and Murphy doubled, but pinch-runner Edwin Jackson was thrown out at the plate to end the game … Fedde did manage to get through 6 innings for Washington … Terry Collins managed like it was Game 7 of the World Series, lifting starter Tommy Milone in the 5th after 82 pitches, then using 5 relievers to get through the 7th before turning to closer A.J. Ramos for a 6-out save
