Hi.<\/p>\n

\"\"This is a site where I look forward to sharing some of my favorite things with you — in particular, music and other arts.<\/p>\n

It was inspired by my friend Jim’s project in which he asked several of his college friends to give him a list of their 100 favorite songs — in 1989. Now 32 years later, he’s done it again.<\/p>\n

In 1989, I gave him several cassette tapes with the whole Top 100. This time I’m going to kick off this site with a countdown of my 100 faves … hence the title of the site. The posts will come with at least a little commentary, some youtube links, spotify playlists and God knows what else.\u00a0 Let’s have some fun with it.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, just for the fun of it, let’s kick it off with one that isn’t on the Top 100 … it’s a video from a few years back when we did a tribute to my late friend Tyler Harrington. This is one of my songs that we worked on together, performed with Irving Klaws at Mohawk Place … a little off-key at times because I couldn’t hear myself, but, hey, that’s rock ‘n’ roll!<\/p>\n
