An Abrupt Ending

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 19h

This was meant to just be a quickie, but it ended rather abruptly last night. My cousin notified me that my aunt (her mom) passed away. This wasn’t unexpected. She’d been battling cancer for three years. As all of you who’ve...

1965 Top Ten Songs: You Were on My Mind (#8)

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 23 Apr

It’s hard to believe that some of these songs have been around for 60 years. We say they’re “timeless,” so that means they’ve been around long enough to make us feel that way. Putting a number on them, though — “Hey, this was...

1960 Top Ten Songs: Lonely Weekends (#8)

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 23 Apr

Quickies are fun, but they end quickly. But my boring countdowns go on forever. Today we get another song from the year I was born, making us both 65. Wow. I’m still young and this song is so old!...

Getting My Dose of History

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 22 Apr

Yeah, seeing bears and wild turkey and horses is all well and good, but I need some history, too! Fear not, I got my dose of history today. Have you ever heard of the nation of Franklin? Probably not. I went to its capital city...

1960 Top Ten Songs: Finger Poppin’ Time (#9)

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 22 Apr

Oh, wasn’t 1960 a good year. I was born there. Despite that, there was lots of great music that year. I’m celebrating having turned 65 earlier this month with songs that are also turning 65 this year!...

1965 Top Ten Songs: Down in the Boondocks (#9)

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 22 Apr

Never a dull moment when you travel. I’ll tell you about that later. Meanwhile it’s time for music, and here we go! It’s back to 1965 for a song that will still get airplay 60 years later. Heck, even my mom liked this one....

Now You Know What He Does in the Woods!!!

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 21 Apr

My drive through Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park today was unremarkable. Oh, I saw a bear, but hey, that’s what everybody goes to Cades Cove for in the first place. I saw him moving in the...

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 21 Apr

Sorry, Linda, but it’s country music time. The top ten list of songs from 1965 starts off with what I was listening to in 1965: country music. I discovered all of these rock and soul gems later. So let’s get started...

1960 Top Ten Songs: Let the Little Girl Dance (#10)

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 21 Apr

It’s top ten time! Yes, I’m 65 and so are these songs. Let’s get into my ten favorite songs that came out in 1960. No, not all of them originated in 1960, but these versions all came out then. So here we go with a one-hit...

Just a Quickie

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 20 Apr

Yes, I’ve left home again. Yes, I’m in Pigeon Forge again. So this is just a quickie to say hi. I had a lovely drive down. Everything’s getting green, and that’s so fabulous to see after the wild winter we had. It’s exactly...

1960 Songs: Wheels

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 20 Apr

No, Pony, not the Gram Parsons song! Tomorrow the top ten starts for songs from the year I was born. Today it closes out with another instrumental. Those were good times for instrumentals, weren’t they! And yes, we had this 45...

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 20 Apr

Earlier this month I had a visual treat for the guys with that Whipped Cream and Other Delights album cover. And now, to close out the alphabetical list of 1965 songs, a visual treat for the ladies! A rather...

1965 Songs: What the World Needs Now

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 19 Apr

Onward we trudge through the great songs that are now sixty years old. Sometimes you think these songs are quite dated (I’ll admit that quite a few of these songs sound VERY 1965-ish), and other times you think, “REALLY, that...

1960 Songs: Walk, Don’t Run

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 19 Apr

Before we get to the top ten, we close out these 65-year-old songs’ alphabetical list with two instrumentals. And here we have another case of “don’t stop me if you’ve heard this before,” where the most popular recording dates to...

1960 Songs: True Love Ways

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 18 Apr

Yes, we all know this wasn’t actually recorded in 1960. However, it was released in 1960, so that qualifies it for this countdown of songs that are celebrating their 65th birthday this year. Hey, just like me! Wonder if...

1965 Songs: A Well Respected Man

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 18 Apr

As usual, when I cross the river and eat at the Chuy’s over here, they give me too much salad. No cooking tonight! But there will be music, and lots of it! Here’s the next song on the list of things that are now 60...

From doo-wop we go to mid-60s soul as I continue to celebrate my birthday by celebrating the birthdays of great music. This side of the countdowns is dedicated to 60-year-old music. Dancing is mandatory to this one! [b]Uptight...

Awrite!! The doctor’s appointment is out of the way, and I’m FREE until April 29, when my brother has rotator cuff surgery. Where will I go? What will I do? Probably not much. But I will give you another...

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 16 Apr

Every month that goes by takes with it a number of people from all walks of life. Since music is my primary interest, I devote a moment every month to salute those from that world who passed away in the preceding month. Very few...

1960 Songs: Sink the Bismarck

Four Walls @FourWalls (73826) • United States 16 Apr

First, an apology. I try to be accurate when it comes to the song titles. However, I just cannot, in good conscience, spell it the way it is on the 45. I’m the same way with Elvis’ “Frankfurt Special”: it’s spelled...
