Four Walls @FourWalls (86812) • United States 12 Apr 24

Ugh, why did I agree to a 9:30 appointment? Oh, well. After lunch I have to get some preliminary x-rays because of VA red tape. You don’t want to hear that, you want to hear another song that’s 40 years old! Let’s...

Valentine Kisses: (Til) I Kissed You

Four Walls @FourWalls (86812) • United States 4 Feb 22

If I were to complain that it’s 48 and raining in Fort Walton Beach y’all would just laugh at me. Especially the people under a couple of feet of sn*w. So I’ll just say it’s better than home. I’m thankful there aren’t...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86812) • United States 10 Dec 21

Sometimes the inspiration for a top ten list comes from strange places. This countdown comes from something @NJChicaa said about not knowing that a song Jimmy Buffett had recorded was a cover. It doesn’t take much to get me to...

I just got a note from the Musicians Hall of Fame. They have announced that Don Everly has died. That just sucks. Don, like yesterday's musical passing Tom T. Hall, was a Kentuckian. The town he was born in, Brownie,...

Rock Love, Day 11: Bye Bye Love

Four Walls @FourWalls (86812) • United States 11 Jan 20

That’s how dual countdowns work. Some days the two songs will compliment each other, and some days they’re total opposites. This is sort of a complimentary song with “love” in the title, making up for the relatively obscure...

There are so many songs that have a question for a title that it was difficult -- yet a lot of fun -- to whittle the list of favorites down. I managed to get it down to 40 -- 20 in rock and 20 in country, splitting it into...
