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.)

Lyric Of The Day #1 (January 30, 2020)

The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend

This one was co-written by Bruce Woodley of the Seekers and Paul Simon. It was turned into a big hit (#2 on Billboard’s Hot 100) in 1966 by a band from Easton, Pennsylvania, which is often unfairly labeled as a one-hit wonder.

    It's a turn down day.

      Absolutely! A little offbeat, with that electric sitar and piano, but a great effort nevertheless.
