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.)

Straight No Chaser – Weinberg Center for the Arts (Frederick MD), 4/12/2018


Row K, seats 2 and 4 (right side, on the aisle)
 
The SNC guys put on another top-notch performance in front of a sold-out crowd Thursday evening. No Christmas songs this time, and not a lot of overlap from the last time we saw them (the Beyonce and Blues Brothers medleys, “Creep”, and the usual mic-less “Make You Feel My Love” as the final encore). A couple of the new mashups were quite good, notably “Sweet Dreams” / “Hand Clap” to open the show, and “Come As You Are” leading into “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” near the beginning of the post-intermission set. Everyone in the crew had a chance to shine, although as usual Jerome Collins managed to steal the show most often.
 
Highlights:
Hi-De-Ho
Twistin’ The Night Away
Creep
Billie Jean / Poison (first encore)
