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.)

#191 Hole In The Wall – The Packers (1965)

This is one of those instrumentals that stuck in my head ever since I first heard it. The overall sound is very similar to the live version of “The In-Crowd” by the Ramsey Lewis Trio earlier that same year. Although the Packers were apparently an actual band that recorded two albums, it’s worth noting that this one was co-written by three of the members of Booker T. & The MG’s, two of whom also play on the recording.
