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.)

June 20, 2019 – Bethesda Big Train 8, Silver Spring-Takoma Park Thunderbolts 1 – Shirley Povich Field


 
Second row, behind the SS-T dugout about halfway down the first base line (general admission)
 
Game notes – Thunderbolts scored first in the top of the 3rd, which apparently woke up the home team, as they scored in each of the next 4 innings, culminating in a 4-run 6th … while the Big Train made some great defensive plays throughout, the visitors were somewhat sloppy, allowing two runs to score on wild pitches … Michael Bechtold (James Madison) pitched the first 5 innings for Bethesda … oddly enough, this was the closest of the 4 games so far this season between these two teams … the weather was nice for most of the evening, until a heavy shower as the 9th inning started sent just about everyone in the crowd towards the exit
 
Other – fundraiser for the Metropolitan Washington Ear (so I threw one of the four first pitches)
