1965 Songs: Buckaroo

Four Walls @FourWalls (73000) • United States 6h

And now we get to one of my major schoolgirl crushes. As I’ve said before, all of these things about these songs pretty much explains why I’m the nut that I am. Again, apologizing to Linda for two country songs (Dean...

1960 Songs: Big Iron

Four Walls @FourWalls (73000) • United States 6h

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...

Same Tornado Shelter, Different Day

Four Walls @FourWalls (73000) • United States 17h

Yes, that’s a different photo! Back in the safe place this evening. We had tornado warnings in Louisville. One of the local stations said insulation is on the interstate in the eastern part of the county, and one report said...

1960 Songs: Am I Losing You

Four Walls @FourWalls (73000) • United States 2 Apr

Well, well, will you lookie who’s making an appearance on one of my countdowns? Are you shocked? Didn’t think so. The song might surprise you, but the artist? No way. I was born loving this guy, and this should...

1965 Songs: Blue Kentucky Girl

Four Walls @FourWalls (73000) • United States 2 Apr

Oops, country music time. Sorry, Linda. But sixty years ago, that was all I listened to. That probably explains why these music countdowns are so weird. Back to 1965 for a name that...

1965 Songs: The Birds and the Bees

Four Walls @FourWalls (73000) • United States 1 Apr

My birthday is this month, and for the past few years I’ve been celebrating with countdowns of “milestone” birthdays of songs (40, 50, 60, and recently, 70 years old). Since I’ll be 65 I’m also doing songs that are now as old as...

1960 Songs: Ain’t That a Kick in the Head

Four Walls @FourWalls (73000) • United States 1 Apr

No foolin’, it’s April! That means it’s time to look back 65 years to the year I was born. That wasn’t that big of a deal (except to my mother ), but the music was spectacular! Let’s get the alphabetical ball...

Back to the 60s (Part 2)

Four Walls @FourWalls (73000) • United States 31 Mar

This year is a special birthday for me. I guess at this age, they’re all special. However, the government sent me a special card (Medicare) for my special birthday. So to celebrate, let’s also look at songs that,...

It’s time for a new month, and a new countdown! For April, I continue my birthday celebration by going back to the 60s. First up: songs that are celebrating their 60th birthday this year. Remember, this isn’t meant to make you...

1985 Top Ten Songs: Wendell Gee (#1)

Four Walls @FourWalls (73000) • United States 31 Mar

Yes, you knew these guys would top the list when Talking Heads were #2. And, since this is about songs that’ll are 40 years old, you knew it’d be something from this album. But which song? Heck, most of them could be on this...

For the last time this month I go back to my 100 favorites list for a song that’s now 70 years old. I promise it’s the last time this month…because this is the end of the countdown! Tomorrow we start celebrating my...

Hi, everyone. Instant update time. The other Louisville myLotter, @LooeyVill , is on a cruise right now, so she’s missing all the fun right now! We just cleared a tornado warning here in Louisville. As of right now (about...

1955 Top Ten Songs: When I Stop Dreaming (#2)

Four Walls @FourWalls (73000) • United States 30 Mar

So many of the songs on my 100 favorites lists came from 1955 that I now find them competing against one another in this list of songs that turn 70 this year. It’s hard to say that this “loses” to the song I picked for #1,...

Oh, here’s a surprise. Maybe? Maybe not. This song is 40 years old now, which may surprise you. I hope it’s not that big a shock that it’s showing up on a list…and so high on the list at that! Here’s today’s 1985...

Yes, it’s time for another song that’s 70 years old now. And it’s another song that was on the 100 favorites list. AND it’s another classic country music song. While y’all make a beeline for the 1985 song I’ll finish off...

Thanks, Y’All!

Four Walls @FourWalls (73000) • United States 28 Mar

Every now and then I’ll treat myself to something silly. I saw this t-shirt and couldn’t resist. It’s an old Navy joke. I found it online, and the company took PayPal. I used my earnings from myLot to pay for it. It arrived...

Today is the anniversary of the birth of my dear mother of blessed memory. Appropriately enough, one of her favorite rock songs pops up on the list of favorites of mine from 1985. I’m so thankful I inherited rhythm from my dad,...

Here’s another song that’s now 70 years old. This one is on my 100 favorites list, ah, but on the pop side, not country! I truly cannot remember when I first heard this, but I know I loved it the first time I...

In looking at the top five of the songs that are now 70 years old, I see a lot of things that were also on the 100 favorites lists. In fact, all five of the top five were on those two lists. A little spoiler: three country, two...
