Let Me Breathe the Air

Four Walls @FourWalls (84755) • United States 11h

Ah, what a day. I don't know how long has been, but it's been a LONG time since I had my air ducts cleaned out. Well, today, I had that done. My house is older, built in 1950. It would be extremely expensive to get new ducts...

1966 Songs: The Pied Piper

Four Walls @FourWalls (84755) • United States 22h

Just to show you how deep the British Invasion was in the 60s, I present a song that’s celebrating its 60th birthday this year…that only became a hit after a British act covered it. He also drives my autocorrect crazy...

1956 Songs: Hot Dog! That Made Him Mad

Four Walls @FourWalls (84755) • United States 23h

Oops, I had the 1956 song set up before I realized the 1966 song was supposed to go first today. It doesn’t matter, as I’m sure you’re already feeling old…and you’re ready for more frankfurters, right? Yes, back 70...

1966 Songs: Nobody But a Fool (Would Love You)

Four Walls @FourWalls (84755) • United States 7 Apr

Oops, both songs today have parenthetical titles. That wasn’t intentional (I didn’t mean it). Way back in 1966 the only thing I listened to was country music. It probably won’t surprise you, therefore, that...

Good morning, and welcome to the 1956 countdown. Today you’ll hear a song that’ll having you running back to yesterday’s novelty. Actually, today’s song and yesterday’s song were written by the same songwriting...

1956 Songs: Honolulu Rock-a-Roll-a

Four Walls @FourWalls (84755) • United States 6 Apr

First things first: I want to apologize for using this one. I’ll be hiding out while you grab your torches and pitchforks. And, while this is sorta rockabilly/rock and roll, it’s by a country artist, so Linda? NO!...

1966 Songs: My Love

Four Walls @FourWalls (84755) • United States 6 Apr

There’s a video of the late, great Neil Sedaka on YouTube doing his song “Stairway to Heaven.” He prefaced the song by saying, “As you may know, or maybe you don’t know, song titles can’t be copyrighted…so Led Zeppelin, I...

1956 Songs: Hart Brake Motel

Four Walls @FourWalls (84755) • United States 5 Apr

Elvis, get your Elvis here! I told you 1956 was heavily influenced by Mr. Presley. While today’s song isn’t by Elvis, it was certainly recorded because of him. Let’s jump back 70 years for today’s song, that’s hopefully...

1956 Songs: Don't Be Cruel

Four Walls @FourWalls (84755) • United States 4 Apr

Why go back 70 years to celebrate my birthday when I wasn't even born yet? Because of this. Rock and roll, and really all of popular music changed in 1956...primarily because of this guy. So, with apologies to...

1966 Songs: I've Been a Long Time Leavin' (But I'll Be a Long Time Gone)

Four Walls @FourWalls (84755) • United States 4 Apr

Well, isn't that a long song title! That took up half of 1966 just to say! And, oh, it's country...sort of. You're going to hear 1960s country rap in this song! Back 60 years we go for the first trip to...

1956 Songs: Blueberry Hill

Four Walls @FourWalls (84755) • United States 3 Apr

We’re going back 70 years in musical time for another song. Actually, today’s song goes back 86 years, but not this version. This is the the version most of us are familiar with, and definitely the obvious version. So...

1956 Songs: Blue Suede Shoes

Four Walls @FourWalls (84755) • United States 2 Apr

If you haven’t noticed, just two songs into this look back 70 years at the music of 1956, there’s A LOT of influence coming from that truck driver from Tupelo. And, don’t you worry about a thing, he’ll be along himself...

1966 Songs: Good Lovin’

Four Walls @FourWalls (84755) • United States 2 Apr

You’re worried in two regards. First, I’m late. That’s because I have scheduled servicing going on at the house right now, and I had someone come by and give me an estimate on air duct cleaning. The other thing is how, on the...

Four Walls @FourWalls (84755) • United States 31 Mar

The book closes on the look back at the music from 1986. Wow, what an amazing year for music. It’s still one of my favorite years for music, and it’s hard to believe that it’s now 40 years back. Time marches on, but the music...
