Four Walls @FourWalls (86939) • United States 29 Apr

Well, the bad news is that you’re stuck with another 70-year-old classic country music song for today’s celebration. The good news is that it’s the last one. Yes, and we’re revisiting the 100 favorites list...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86939) • United States 27 Apr

Today is the 15th anniversary of the 2011 Super Outbreak. And there looks to be a major outbreak primed for Illinois today. Praying for all my friends there. To make things worse for some of you, today’s song celebrating its...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86939) • United States 26 Apr

The Derby Festival is under way! The balloon race was canceled because of fog yesterday morning, but they got the Friday “rush hour” race in. The Pegasus Parade is today, my appointment is Tuesday, and then it’s time to leave...

1956 Top Ten: Sweet Dreams (#7)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86939) • United States 24 Apr

A fair warning: this is country. Linda? NO! Dianne? NO!!! Oh, and it’s a 180 from that Patsy Cline version that most people love, so if you’re fond of that rendition, probably not. Gee, that’s a great...

1966 Songs: Swinging Doors

Four Walls @FourWalls (86939) • United States 16 Apr

My apologies. Both songs today are country. I didn’t plan that, it’s just the way the alphabet falls. So Linda? NO! Dianne? NO!!!! Everyone else? Let’s go back 60 years to one of the giants of country music. [b]Swinging...

1966 Songs: The Streets of Baltimore

Four Walls @FourWalls (86939) • United States 13 Apr

It’s fun to look back via music. To celebrate my birthday I’m celebrating the birthday of songs released 70 and 60 years ago. I was alive in 1966, but not 1956. Today’s song was controversial at the time, but what did a...

1956 Songs: I Don’t Believe You’ve Met My Baby

Four Walls @FourWalls (86939) • United States 9 Apr

Before I was born there were lots of great songs recorded. This is one of them. You are going to strongly disagree with me on this song. Yes, it’s old and it’s — watch out — country. Linda? NO!!!!! Everyone...

1966 Songs: Nobody But a Fool (Would Love You)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86939) • United States 7 Apr

Oops, both songs today have parenthetical titles. That wasn’t intentional (I didn’t mean it). Way back in 1966 the only thing I listened to was country music. It probably won’t surprise you, therefore, that...

1986 Songs: Guitars, Cadillacs

Four Walls @FourWalls (86939) • United States 10 Mar

With the screen grab, I wonder if I even have to give the “Linda? NO!!!!!” warning to anyone who doesn’t like country music. I’ve already mentioned this guy in an earlier discussion about the “neo-traditional”...

1986 Songs: Diggin’ Up Bones

Four Walls @FourWalls (86939) • United States 6 Mar

Well, at least you’ve heard of this guy. But it’s country, right? I’m telling you, 1986 was an amazing year for music to me. And yes, I was listening to The Smithereens AND this guy. Heck, I saw this...

Right now I’m having lunch not too far from Jerry Lee Lewis’ hometown of Ferriday, Louisiana. I’ll have chickens in the salad (whose salad, what salad, my salad) for lunch. Meanwhile, here’s someone you...

Black History Month Music: Stoney Edwards

Four Walls @FourWalls (86939) • United States 8 Feb

Only in one of my crazy countdowns can you go from a pioneer in “hard bop,” “west coast” jazz to authentic country music. Poor Linda thought she was safe this month, celebrating Black History Month, without country music. Oh no....

Boogie Down (Me): Hangman’s Boogie (#3)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86939) • United States 27 Dec

Oh, you’re gonna hate me now. Yes, it’s an odd-numbered day, which means it’s my turn to boogie. “Odd” is appropriate. I love this song (hence its high place on the list), but you’re really going to wonder. And...

Boogie Down (Me): The Shot Gun Boogie (#4)

I’ve been here for an hour and a half and I’m beginning to think Chuy’s isn’t opening today! Just kidding, I’m home, enjoying tea after a very filling lunch. Just because it’s a holiday doesn’t mean you get a break...

Festivus for the rest of us! I’ve never seen an episode of Seinfeld, but I know about that. I know about boogie songs, too, which is what I’ve been giving you all month: half of them I chose for myself (these,...

Dental cleaning day! And, like any good patient, I’m at Chuy’s getting my teeth dirty for them. And it’s time for another song on my list of favorites with “boogie” in the title. Today I present a “Linda? HECK...
