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.)

Game notes – Phils wound up with the bases loaded and two outs in the top of the first, after two walks and an error, but failed to score … Nats battered Nick Pivetta for 3 in the bottom of the first on Harper’s leadoff HR, two walks, and RBI singles by Zim and Wieters … he fared no better in the second, as Difo walked, Harper hit another one out, and Turner singled … Drew Hutchison replaced Pivetta and promptly gave up a homer to Matt Adams, but pitched through the end of the 6th with no further damage … Gio blanked the visitors for his 5 innings, with a rain delay in the middle … Phils finally broke through off Trevor Gott in the 6th on Altherr’s infield single, followed immediately by homers by Santana and Franco, at which point Gott left the game with what turned out to be a sprained ankle … Wander Suero, Madson, and Kintzler kept the Phils off the board for the rest of the game, while Zac Curtis pitched two scoreless frames for Philadelphia
 
Other – we took Metro and arrived in plenty of time to get our Max Scherzer bobbleheads
