Four Walls&#39;s Discussions

My plan was to give you poor folks a rest after bombarding you with 200 songs on my lists of favorites. However… Our great myLotter from Down Under, @JudyEv , said she missed her songs. So blame her for this one…. JUDY...

So You Thought You Were Getting a Break!

Four Walls @FourWalls (69136) • United States 19 Dec

Yes, I’m the same person who was whining about getting a Medicare card as a Christmas present yesterday. I had my six-month check-up with my “civilian” doctor today, and she was HAPPY. I like a happy...

Gee, THANKS, Guv’ment!

Four Walls @FourWalls (69136) • United States 17 Dec

Dad-gum guv’ment, as Roger Miller put it in the song in Big River. Here I am, bragging about losing 60 pounds, putting some great numbers on the health monitor on my watch, and all that…. Then they send me...

Too Much Sn*w on the Live Cams

Four Walls @FourWalls (69136) • United States 16 Dec

Ick. Everywhere I look on live cams on YouTube there’s sn*w. The Brownsville, Maine deer pantry just started feeding the wild deer today (apparently there’s a law in Maine that you can’t feed them until after December 15); and,...

Four Walls @FourWalls (69136) • United States 16 Dec

Yesterday I was busy doing laundry and reading history. I discovered it was a “double whammy” anniversary of sorts, a day when TWO bridges collapsed (in different years) in the region. The first one happened here in Louisville...

LooeyVille’s Sixty-Pound Gift

Four Walls @FourWalls (69136) • United States 14 Dec

We’re a family of sorts here at myLot. I’ve met quite a few myLotters and it’s been a major blessing. Of course, I live in the same town as one of our myLotters, @LooeyVille . Earlier this year she gave me one of her spare...

My 100 Favorite Charted Pop Songs: Your Smiling Face

Four Walls @FourWalls (69136) • United States 13 Dec

Another appropriate title! You’re probably smiling because this trip is OVER! One hundred different songs to make the pop charts: some R&B, a punk or two, some with a country flavor, some unabashedly pop, and some...

What an appropriate title! For the past 100 days you’ve endured something unprecedented: a three-and-a-half month, 100-song countdown. TWO of them, actually, because there’s a rock/pop/R&B side to this as well....

Sandwiched in between two “mellow” singers at the end of this alphabetical list of my favorite charted singles is this. It makes an interesting switch between what came before it and what closes this out tomorrow. And, like...

My 100 Favorite Charted Pop Songs: Young Americans

Four Walls @FourWalls (69136) • United States 12 Dec

One hundred songs I had to pick out of all of the thousands that had charted from 1944. You now know what 99 of them are. Aren’t you lucky. Here’s a gentleman who’s back for the third and final time (I limited the...

An appropriate title for a day when they’re predicting the evil S stuff and you’d rather be in a warm, sunny place. Right now it is sunny, and I’m sitting right under the heater at the restaurant, so things are...

Sn*w squall warnings, huh? Have you heard of these? Like a severe thunderstorm warning for winter. They say we might get some this afternoon. I need something to warm me up, and what better than a great...

My 100 Favorite Charted Pop Songs: You’re Only Lonely

Four Walls @FourWalls (69136) • United States 11 Dec

Every month I take a moment to remember the people from the world of music who passed away in the previous month. I also recap the year with the 31 that meant the most to me during the January countdown. Every month we lose...
