It’s time to get rockin’ and rollin’! Well…not today here. We’re in 1976, and, as yesterday’s song proved, there were some good rocking tunes. So let’s flip the script and go with a folkie. Here’s...

Hooray, I survived my eye exam! I told the optometrist, however, that I’d rather have a mammogram. She was shocked, but I explained, “The mammogram is over in five minutes. I’m going to have a headache (from the dilation of the...

Ick. My brother has to be at the hospital at 6 AM tomorrow. I told him to have fun walking. I’d better type up tomorrow’s discussions tonight or they’re going to look like “adhhaifhauhhzzzzzz.” ...

The dreaded “pattern flip” is threatening to bring cold and the dirty S word to the region next week. That’s next week. Right now it’s time for another song from my list of favorites that made the...

Oh, no, this charted on the country charts as well. It’s not an intentional “two-for-one country song” day. I don’t remember it getting airplay on country stations. Oh, well. Linda? Listen with caution. Here’s today’s song...

As I’ve said numerous times, it would be next to impossible to put these in an order of 1-100. Having said this, here’s a song that’s definitely top five…probably top three. No question: this was one of the first songs I...

The rain isn’t too terrible right now, steady but they’re playing in it out at the PGA. I’m enjoying my usual BBQ chicken lunch for Friday and ready to spring another song on you that’s now 50 years old. And, just to reiterate...

For the Christians, I wish you a holy, blessed, and meaningful Good Friday and Holy Weekend. (Not applicable to the Orthodox Christians, as Easter doesn’t come until after Passover on the Orthodox calendar, and Passover is...

As I said yesterday, we’re talking 1A and 1B here. The poetry was amazing, even if the subjects were vastly different. For the final tribute to someone who passed away in 2023 I salute the man who was, in so many ways, the voice...

Yeah, it’s early. But I went to bed really early, too. Another day, another myLotter, and another bunch of cops on our tail. Meanwhile, I’m not forgetting the countdown of songs that were banned. We’re in the top...

The news just came down that Gordon Lightfoot passed away today.
There are no words. None to explain the beauty of the man’s music, or the joy it brought me through the years.
Thank you, Canada, for sharing one of your...

Around here, “LBL” means “Land Between the Lakes,” the national recreational area located between Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake in western Kentucky. Now it’s LDL: Last Day of Lockdown!! Hopefully I can escape the...

My apologies. It’s another country song. Well, country-ish. Heading back half a century, it’s time for another look at the music from 1972. This one holds a special place for me. And here it is!

Oh, look, a baseball work stoppage. I can’t see them worrying about money after signing some 36-year-old pitcher to a $44 million a year contract. Anyway, we’ll sail to an island removed from baseball. This...

Along with favorites with “fly” in the title I’m doing a companion countdown of songs with an airplane theme. Today’s song doesn’t have “plane” in the title, and you may not immediately think of it as an “airplane” song, but...

Just call me Willie Nelson, ‘cause I’m on the road again! I had an antibody test (still positive for those, thank God), and now I’m eating lunch and ready to go east or southeast or south or southwest or west or....well, you get...

Oh, no, this guy again?? And this song again? You might — just might — get the weird impression that I kinda like this song. Lots of people do, too, meaning they’ve discovered one of the great songs of the past 50...

And so the celebration of our neighbors to the north comes to a close. I started counting down my favorite Canadian musicians in honor of Canada Day, then followed it with this list of favorite songs by Canadians. Since this guy...
