What a beautiful Thursday! It’s supposed to be in the 80s today. Next week, when everyone will be in town for the Derby, it’ll be in the high 50s/low 60s. We might have to move the Derby to get better weather....

1986 Songs: The Big Light

Four Walls @FourWalls (86566) • United States 4 Mar

Welcome to Wednesday, or another day of “never heard it.” I warned you! So when you ask why there’s no Bon Jovi on the list, it’s because I didn’t hear what he was doing…I was listening to this! Here’s today’s song...

Music You've Probably Never Heard #17

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 2 Oct

There are songs that just hit you sometimes. Like Johnny Cash's version of Hurt. What made his version special is that it came from the heart, from a lifetime of pain and bad decisions, and this was essentially a [i]goodbye...

Hey! Hey! Hey! It’s time to go back 70 years to 1955, when things were really changing in the world of music. Today’s 1955 song is a great example of things changing and breaking out in a big way. You know this guy, don’t...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86566) • United States 4 Jan 25

Every year we go through the cycle of losing people in the world of music, and every year I’ll recognize them for the happiness they brought to people’s lives with their music. Many of these people never get the “headline news”...

1964 Top Ten: The Ballad of Ira Hayes (#9)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86566) • United States 22 Jun 24

The first of four songs in the top ten from the world of country music shows up today. Sorry, that’s all I listened to back then. But at least it’s “the Man in Black,” and most people seem to tolerate him. So Linda? Probably...

Dear everyone, I hope you all are doing well. I couldn't sleep, so decided to be productive and write. I was reading earlier about John Carter Cash, son of late country music icon John R. "Johnny" Cash. I couldn't help noticing...

Ain’t This a Countdown: It Ain’t Me, Babe

Four Walls @FourWalls (86566) • United States 17 Oct 23

Lots of country music to come, but you get a quick break from it starting today. Well, asterisk. I don’t think many people would call this “real country.” But then, look who sang it. Enough of that, here’s today’s “ain’t”...

Top Ten 1973 Songs: Any Old Wind That Blows (#8)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86566) • United States 24 May 23

When I look at these songs and try to “rank” them, I promise I don’t think that this song should follow that song because the singers were friends or anything. I point that out because it just might seem that way with...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86566) • United States 26 Apr 23

As I mentioned yesterday, we have hit the final two country songs in the countdown of 60-year-old songs. And neither of them sound all that “country.” Yesterday’s song had French horn and oboe. Today’s song? Mariachi trumpets....

Everyone at Chuy’s is ooh-ing and aah-ing at the photos I brought home. So am I, to tell you the truth. It was a wonderful vacation. But this is about theme music from television series, and you want another song! And another...

Top Ten Ruby Songs: See Ruby Fall (#10)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86566) • United States 10 Nov 22

Last week I went to Ruby Falls in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and started thinking about all the songs that have Ruby for the subject (the woman’s name, not the ruby gem). Not as popular as Sally (I did that one a few years ago), but...
