Today is the anniversary of the birth of my dear mother of blessed memory. Appropriately enough, one of her favorite rock songs pops up on the list of favorites of mine from 1985. I’m so thankful I inherited rhythm from my dad,...

Sometimes I can be obvious. This is one of those times. I’ve mentioned this one a hundred times before, and how my dear mother of blessed memory even loved it. It’s no surprise that it shows up on the list of my 100 favorites....

Thanks for humoring me yesterday with the song that nobody knows. Today’s song on the list of songs that reference other songs’ titles in them is a big hit, and a big favorite of mine. My mom loved this song, too. And here it...

It’s time for another great saxophone song. NOT a “sax song” like “Tequila” by the Champs, but songs that have great augmentation to them by the sax work. Like yesterday’s song, today’s tune is an album cut, but given how many...

We start a new week here in the land of keep your distance. To help keep up the sanity (or insanity, whichever way you look at it), I’m doing a countdown of songs with titles appropriate to the situation. Just practice the title...

In anticipation of Valentines Day I’m presenting 45 songs with “love” in the title. I’m counting down 45 “love” songs in country music as well. For those who were a little put off by the 80s new wave yesterday (and are...

When I started compiling the tunes that make up this particular countdown, 50 songs with "of" in the title, I was hoping that some of you would be hoping for this one, and I aim to please! These are in no logical order, but they...

What a wild night. I’ll talk about that later. Meanwhile, I’m celebrating 1979, the year I went into the Navy, with 19 songs I fondly remember from that year (because that was the year I turned 19). Here’s the next song on the...

Halfway through this tribute to my late mother already? Wow. Her birthday was last week, and I thought one of the many ways I could honor her was to share some songs that might seem a little "out of the ordinary" for someone her...

After a great weekend playing golf I'm back, ready to resume the countdown of big-selling albums through the years that I participated in making a big-selling album. This is a follow-up to a recent countdown, where I looked at...

I think I'm recovered from the trip to Nashville. This middle age thing isn't working on these overnight jaunts anymore. But I'm rested up now, thanks to a cold and dreary day made for napping, and ready to give you my favorite...

And another top ten discussion list comes to an end. This one has dealt with songs that have "walk" in the title. As I mentioned earlier, most of the bottom half of the list were rock songs while most of the top half of the list...

Tonight's Into the Groovy (#68) remains in England, where four-time Grammy Award-winning Dire Straits formed.
