In honor of the religious holidays in the next few weeks I’m counting down my favorite hits that have a religious theme to them. When I announced this countdown there were probably two songs that came to mind immediately. I used...

For Thanksgiving and the upcoming Hanukkah/Christmas season I’m counting down my ten favorite songs from the era of rock with religious overtones. Although that was generally the late 60s through the mid-70s, you can still find...

For a Holy Season….

Four Walls @FourWalls (49123) • United States 21 Nov

This is a countdown I’ve been thinking about for a good while. And, given that we’re going into a season that has many religious aspects, this seems to be the perfect time for it. Back in the 60s and 70s there was a thing...

Music Obituaries: October 2022

Four Walls @FourWalls (49123) • United States 19 Nov

Every month I pause to remember the musicians who passed away in the previous month. Music’s my favorite subject, and most of the people who die don’t get the headline news attention that a Michael Jackson or Prince did. This is...

Top Ten Ruby Songs: Ruby (#1)

Four Walls @FourWalls (49123) • United States 19 Nov

The trip to Ruby Falls a few weeks ago got me interested in doing a countdown of songs with “Ruby” in the title. That dries up today, unlike the waterfall. (The guide said that, during heavy rains, the cave can close due to high...

Top Ten Ruby Songs: Ruby’s Song (#2)

Four Walls @FourWalls (49123) • United States 18 Nov

My sympathies with the people in Buffalo getting lake-effect snow being measured by the yard instead of inches or even feet. It makes me glad to live in the “sunny south,” where the temperature hasn’t risen...

Top Ten Ruby Songs: Ruby Tuesday (#3)

Four Walls @FourWalls (49123) • United States 17 Nov

Everyone has been waiting for this gem named Ruby to show up. It’s probably the first (and maybe the only) song with “Ruby” in the title that you immediately thought of. Of course this would make it!!! And here it...

Down to four gems named “Ruby” for this countdown of songs inspired by my trip to Ruby Falls. We have one rock, one country, one Americana…and this one. Don’t know where this fits, except it the “good” category. [b]#4:...

Good morning! It’s scheduled maintenance day on Bestill. While he’s getting a fresh dose of oil I’m having lunch and ready to assault your senses with another song that has “Ruby” in the title. This was inspired by my recent...

Paradise Post Script

Four Walls @FourWalls (49123) • United States 14 Nov

Boy, did I time that correctly! This morning I had a text from my brother, telling me the “stacks” at the TVA plant in Paradise, Kentucky were imploded over the weekend. Hey, wasn’t I just there, chasing down the memories...

Top Ten Ruby Songs: Ravishing Ruby (#6)

Four Walls @FourWalls (49123) • United States 14 Nov

Today is beautiful and the sun is shining. Then you step outside and BRRRR! Oh, well, no sn*w. But there is a severe country music waring in place for people who don’t like country music. Lots of them, actually, in the...

Saturday Evening Musings

Four Walls @FourWalls (49123) • United States 12 Nov

There it is. The “S” word. We had our first sn*wfall of the year overnight. The National Weather Service puts the “damage” at 1.2”. It was about 67 degrees F yesterday, so it didn’t cause any problems on the roads. Hooray....

W H A T is that white stuff on the ground out there???? Actually, this is the way to have sn*w. It was in the 60s yesterday, so this isn’t going to hang around very long. It’ll be gone long before this list of songs with “Ruby”...

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

Four Walls @FourWalls (49123) • United States 10 Nov

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...
