Those Crazy Things When You Travel (Part 1)

Four Walls @FourWalls (73995) • United States 14h

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 (73995) • United States 22h

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 (73995) • 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 (73995) • 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 (73995) • 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 (73995) • 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 (73995) • 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 (73995) • 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...

An Abrupt Ending

Four Walls @FourWalls (73995) • United States 23 Apr

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 (73995) • 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 (73995) • 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 (73995) • 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 (73995) • 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 (73995) • 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 (73995) • 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...

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...

Four Walls @FourWalls (73995) • 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 (73995) • 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 (73995) • 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...
