1960 Songs: Big Iron

Four Walls @FourWalls (86765) • United States 3 Apr 25

Oops, two days in a row of country music. Sorry, Linda. Tomorrow’s song will NOT be country. I like both kinds, country AND western. Today’s is western. Back to the year of my birth for another...

Waddaya know, both songs today have “blues” in the title! Totally unintentional (how could that be planned?). Today we have another example of just how crazy my music tastes are. Classic rock is followed by…..classic country!...

1964 Top Ten: Begging to You (#6)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86765) • United States 25 Jun 24

As Elvis Costello said, “Welcome to the working week, I know it don’t thrill you, I hope it don’t kill you.” That’s not grammatically correct, and neither is this monthlong look at songs with the word ain’t in the title....

Ah, that Mucinex. I’m feeling so much better, thank God. See if I forget to go west next fall! (I was out in Wyoming, Montana, and the Dakotas last year, and my sinuses thought they had did and gone to heaven!) Time to...

Luck of the Irish Top Ten: Aint I the Lucky One (#7)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86765) • United States 15 Mar 22

Luck be a lady today! And no, that Sinatra classic didn’t make my list of favorite songs with “luck” in the title. It was the last song cut, so if you find a song that’s not too “lucky” for you on this list, just substitute that...

The Quarantine Countdown: I Walk Alone (#8)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86765) • United States 19 Mar 20

Another thing we’re having a shortage of in these days are yardsticks. You tape two of ‘em together and put a “stop” sign on the end of it, showing everyone how to practice social distancing. Hope you get a chuckle out of that,...
