1975 Songs: All That You Dream

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 10h

May Day!! It’s Thurby, which means LEAVE TOWN. The people come in, and I go out! I’m sure that’s true of a lot of places. My doctor told me she used to live across the street from Grant Park in Chicago, where Lollapalooza was...

Thanks so much for traveling with me through the past as I celebrate my birthday with songs that are as old, or older, than I am. I do this every year because it’s fun!!! There’s one more year to celebrate. This one is...

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 30 Apr

Oh, come on, what did you think would top the list of songs that are now 60 years old? Listen, I’m crazy but I’m not nuts! For the last time, let’s go back to 1965 and the song that I think shines brightest from...

1960 Top Ten Songs: Only the Lonely (Know the Way I Feel) (#1)

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 30 Apr

Brother is home and, as my niece said, same as always except with a sling now. So I’m going to exhale and stop adulting for the rest of the year. But you’re stuck with more countdowns. Next month, we move forward...

Long Day is Done

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 29 Apr

You’ve all been through a day like today, so I won’t pretend I’m the first one to ever have “one of those days.” I’m glad it’s over. There were lots of blessings, believe it or not. We had a lot of memories and stories swapped...

Half Over

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 29 Apr

The day is half done. Not just in terms of the time, either. My brother’s surgery went fine. He was in his room, griping that he couldn’t find anything on TV, less than two hours after the surgery started. He’s...

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 29 Apr

Oh, so you don’t like the country music, huh? Well, here’s something that will cure your headache from country music. I frequently put this disclaimer in for anyone who stumbled over this because they got up at some ridiculous...

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 29 Apr

If you really want to know why there’s so much hate in the world, I will tell you. People getting up at THIS stupid hour of the day. Yes, I’ve been up since 5:15 to get my brother to the hospital for his surgery....

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 28 Apr

That loud noise you heard last night was me. That’s when I saw the news that Warren Zevon has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He’s been inducted in the “influence” category. Other inductees include the...

1960 Top Ten Songs: When Will I Be Loved (#3)

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 28 Apr

Along with the celebration of songs that are now 60 years old I’m celebrating the songs that came out the year I did, 1960. Some of these songs look a lot better at 65 than I do. Here’s one of the most enduring acts...

Those Crazy Things When You Travel (Part 1)

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 27 Apr

Last week I went to the Smokies for a few days. I got a healthy dose of those wild and crazy things that’ll pop up when you’re traveling. I mentioned that great suite I was upgraded to. Yeah!! Unfortunately…. I heard a...

1965 Top Ten Songs: I Fought the Law (#4)

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 27 Apr

This is a rare song, because it could technically be on BOTH the 1960 AND 1965 lists! (After the country song today you’re probably wishing I had done that! ) A song that’s 65 and a version that’s 60!...

Holy cow, there are eight songs left this month — four in 1960 and four in 1965 — and three of them are country songs! Sorry, Linda. Here we have another rendition of the “this version is from this...

1960 Top Ten Songs: Stairway to Heaven (#5)

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 26 Apr

And now for the other half of “the hustle.” You see that song title and you IMMEDIATELY think of Led Zeppelin. No. This is 1960, after all, and most of the members of Led Zep were still in school. So let’s go back...

1965 Top Ten Songs: Baby I’m Yours (#5)

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 26 Apr

The 1975 list doesn’t start until next week, but I get to “do the hustle” on you today with these songs! (By the way, “The Hustle” will not be on the 1975 list, early disclaimer.) Let’s get started with this great tune from...

1965 Top Ten Songs: California Dreamin’ (#6)

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 25 Apr

Think about it. You may have heard this song today on an “oldies” station. It’s sixty years old now. You know something else? In 60 years people will still hear this song. It’s a true classic. Back to 1965 for...

1960 Top Ten Songs: Let’s Have a Party (#6)

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 25 Apr

One of the “seasons” we have here in Louisville is listed on a meteorologist’s page (as a joke) as “whatever Derby wants to do.” While Balloon Glow #1 went off last night, the rush hour balloon race was canceled this morning...

1960 Top Ten Songs: Didja Ever (#7)

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 24 Apr

So much happened in 1960. We elected our first Catholic president. This guy got out of the Army. Oh, and I was born. That hardly shook the world, but that’s what I’m celebrating this month with this countdown of...

1965 Top Ten Songs: Help Me, Ronda (#7)

Four Walls @FourWalls (74170) • United States 24 Apr

Oh, goodie, I get to confuse everyone today!!! It’s not my deliberate intention to do so, but today’s song from 1965 presents a little confusion. I’ll hopefully either clear it up or make you throw your hands up in...
