Ain't That a Shame and Similar Stuff

During the week life is full, but of nothing worth writing about. Should I write about the fact that I went to work today, looked at houses tonight, ate a quick dinner and am now here in front of my computer? (Well, actually I just did....suckers!)

Hmmmm, well for those of you that know me; I've got a tendency to be a list based person. Lists don't drive my life...thats what chaos is for, but I've got my lists. One of them is a futile attempt to gain an understanding of how popular music ended up where it is now by listening to a chronological list of #1 hits (according to some Billboard book I checked out of the library). I've started at 1955 since this is what the book had good records for. Here are the last five I've listened to on that list to date:

AIN'T THAT A SHAME as performed by Pat Boone
LOVE IS A MANY-SPLENDORED THING as performed by The Four Aces
AUTUMN LEAVES as performed by Roger Williams
SIXTEEN TONS as performed by Tennessee Ernie Ford

In order to listen to these, I've been building up my CD collection. I find myself cringing and laughing at the Pat Boone versions of what otherwise are perfectly good tunes, and I've been listening to the Tennessee Ernie Ford album alot. What does this say, absolutely nothing....
