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.)

Attendance: 38,071 (many disguised as empty seats)
Duration: 3:01
Weather: 86 degrees, cloudy
Wind: 9 mph, Out to LF
Umpires: HP: Malachi Moore. 1B: Edwin Moscoso. 2B: Kyle McCrady. 3B: John Mang
 
Section 306, Row C, Seats 3-5 (still on the 3B side, but down the LF line)
 
Game notes – back and forth game, with most of the runs scoring on the 8 home runs, 2 of them courtesy of Dodgers OF prospect Yusniel Diaz (World) … 18-year-old fireballer Hunter Greene (USA) of the Reds, who was the 2nd pick in last year’s draft, hit triple digits with each of his 19 fastballs, one of which (at 102.3 mph) was turned around for a 2-run HR by White Sox OF Luis Alexander Basabe … the US finally took the lead for good in the bottom of the seventh off Philadelphia pitcher Adonis Medina, a last-minute addition to the roster (he replaced Enyel de los Santos, who wound up as the starting pitcher for the Phillies earlier in the afternoon) … frequent mid-inning pitching changes contributed to the length of the game
