I have finally completed the "I..." songs.  The grand total was 442, spanning five days.  I'm likely not going to make it out of the I songs until early next week at the earliest.  There are still a lot of "If" and "It" songs to go.  I'm only working through Tuesday next week, and I'm unsure if I'll get the I's finished by then.  I'm very curious to see how many "you" songs appear, but we won't know that answer for months.

I'm still in the "I..." songs.  I should get out of them tomorrow, but it'll probably be at least Thursday before I'm out of the I's all together.
I listed that I had two Bob Dylan songs back to back above, but I could have said that there were three in a row as "I Shall Be Released" followed them.  Also, I had no idea I had seven different versions of "I Shall Be Released."  That was 28:07 worth of listening time today.

Notes:
I had a "WTF" moment on Friday when I realized that Eric Clapton's "I Can't Stand It" was not in my library.  It must have been omitted when I brought the CD into my library.  I'll have to fix that.  Also, Otis Redding's version of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is simply titled "Satisfaction," so I won't get to that until the S songs.
I have been in songs that start with the word "I" for over two days, and I'm not sure if I'll make it out tomorrow, which was part of the reason I merged another two days into one entry.

Notes:
Pretty solid day again, though the opening words are pretty much the same all day in the I songs so far.  I have no idea if I'll make it out of the songs that start with the word "I" tomorrow. 
I didn't realize I had three versions of "I've Got You Under My Skin," and I likely re-listened to Muddy Waters doing "(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man," but since it was one of Muddy's signature songs, I don't care.

I had two of my own songs played for me today from the CD I released a few years ago.  Both "Honey Just Stay With Me One More Night" and "The Horsemen" played today.  It was nice to hear them again.  I don't generally listen to my own stuff too often.
I'm a bit surprised that the ghost of Carl Perkins didn't come through the speakers and rip my ears off today.  After "Honey, Don't," I had to endure "Honey, Honey" by ABBA and then "Honey, I'm Home" by Shania Twain.  I think the only saving grace was the fact that it was preceded by "Honey Pie" by The Beatles.  I also must note that The Beatles recorded a version of "Honey, Don't" on Beatles For Sale, but I listened to it on Friday.  The comma did not appear after Honey in their title on my iTunes, so it was pushed higher in the list.
Here are some favorites from today:

• "Honey Hush" by Big Joe Turner
• "Honky Cat" by Elton John
• "Honky Tonkin'" by Hank Williams
• "Hoodoo Man" by Eric Clapton
• "Hoodoo Voodoo" by Billy Bragg & Wilco
• "Hopes Too High" by Tift Merritt
• "Hotel California" by The Eagles
• "The House is Rockin'" by Stevie Ray Vaughan
• "House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals
• "Houses of the Holy" by Led Zeppelin

I also heard "Hooked On a Feeling" by Blue Suede today:  Ooka-shaka, ooka-shaka...  I'm a little surprised I don't have the original version by B.J. Thomas in this library, as it's in my other one at home (I looked), but at least you'll now have the Ooka-shaka, ooka-shaka stuck in your head.  You're welcome.

Notes:
I’m again combining two days because it’s my blog and I can do what I want.  My internet was down on Thursday night, and I just didn’t feel like typing on Friday night.  I was also preparing to get my dog back from the vet, which is why I didn’t update anything this weekend.
Also, before anyone gets on my case, I hadn’t loaded the Freddie King collection into this library when I started this experiment, so his version of “Hideaway” was omitted.  I do have it.
I’ll resume regular postings today.

Notes:
I'm finally caught up after the Thanksgiving holiday...  I didn't even realize I had six versions of "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," and 41 minutes of the same singer singing the same song six different ways was actually kind of annoying, and I'm a big Dylan fan.

• "Hammer to Fall" by Queen
• "Handbags and Gladrags" by Rod Stewart
• "Handle With Care" by The Traveling Wilburys
• "Hannah" by Ray LaMontagne

I have to further note that it was nice to hear "Handle With Care" today, as well as a cut from The Concert for Bangladesh, since today was the ninth anniversary of the passing of George Harrison.  All things must pass...

I finished the G's and started the H's last Monday.  One very appropriate track was "Gravy (For My Mashed Potatoes)" by Dee Dee Sharp, since Thanksgiving was approaching.  It inspired me to create a Thanksgiving playlist which turned out to be rather interesting.

Notes
Today ended up being a lot shorter than it should have been, as I was distracted and pulled away from my desk quite often.
The highlights were definitely among the great parts of today.  The four versions of "Going Down Slow" were all unique in fantastic ways, and I found out that I don't have the most recognized version of the song by Howlin' Wolf.  I'm not a big fan of Huey Lewis' version too much, as the tempo of the song doesn't really match up with the overall mood of the song.
I have two more days of work before Thanksgiving, and I'm not sure if I'll make it out of the G's or not.  Stay tuned!

Notes:
Today ended up as a shorter day as I took 90 minutes to listen to Howard Stern interview Billy Joel from yesterday's show.  I'm not a Stern fan, but that was a fantastic interview.  Find it.  Thanks go to my brother for sending it to me.

• Let it Be
• Let it Be...  Naked
• Past Masters Volume 2

Notes:
I passed the 3,000 song mark today, as well as moved out of the F's and into the G's.
There was a great moment today when "Funny How Love Can Be" by The Ivy League came on.  I had probably heard that song on radio several times throughout my life, but never really knew what it was.  I certainly didn't know that I had the song.  Once again, I can thank this project for showing me good stuff I never knew I had.
Appropriate that the day The Beatles finally appear on iTunes that I get four versions of "Get Back," but I also heard "Getting Better" from Sgt. Pepper.  I think you can only download two versions of "Get Back" from iTunes...  Though I didn't bother to really look to see if they had the Anthology series or Let it Be...  Naked available for purchase.  I already have everything on CD.  I don't need it again.
More personal favorites from today:

• "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers
• "The Game of Love" by Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders
• "Garden Party" by Rick Nelson
• "Georgia on My Mind" by Ray Charles
• "Get a Job" by The Silhouettes
• "Get it Right the First Time" by Billy Joel

• "The Ghost of Tom Joad" by Bruce Springsteen

Today was a really good music day,

• Robert Johnson from Complete Recordings
• Cream from Fresh Cream (title was "Four Until Late")

Notes:
First, for those of you actually paying attention, I made a mistake back on 10/19/10, when I failed to update the day to 21, skewing all the days since then.  So if you notice that Day 36 disappeared, it was actually Friday, 11/12/10.  Hopefully I don't screw that up again.
There is actually a studio version of "Fourth Time Around" by Bob Dylan from Blonde on Blonde, but it didn't play today because the title is written as "4th Time Around," which I'll get to at the end when all the titles that start with numerical digits occur, according to iTunes.
Also, the Johnny Cash & Sam Cooke songs above are pretty much the same song, though not totally the same.  The refrain is the same, as well as most of the verse lyrics.  The title is the only real difference.
I got to hear all 11:10 of "Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" today, which then led into the closing song, "Funk #49."  It was a great way to close out a pretty busy Monday.

Follow Four Fools Forever

• Demo & Take 4 from Anthology 2

Notes:
I was too busy on Friday evening to update, and then I forgot until now.
Friday was a solid mix of great music.  The bulk of the day could be a "highlight," really.  There was a great mix of artists, genres, and sounds.  There weren't a lot of covers and/or alternate versions of songs either.  It really was just a great listening day.
Personal favorites:

• "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash (both versions)
• "Fool's Paradise" by Buddy Holly
• "Fools on Parade" by The Jayhawks

Notes:
I forgot to send the song info from yesterday to myself at home, so I'm updating yesterday now, and I'll update today a bit later (once the day is over).
Pretty good day of music yesterday...  I did have to endure "Fernando" by ABBA, and I further question why I even have ABBA in my collection.
I accidentially listened to the same song twice yesterday, and this was the first time I did that without catching myself.  "Find the Cost of Freedom" by CSNY was played back to back on two different collections.  Oh well...
Finishing the day on "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" was great fun.  No one was around in the office, so I cranked up that banjo and yee-hawed the rest of the day away.

Feel Fat Fantasy

Day 33  11/10/10 - 76 songs
First song 9:33AM:  "Ezy Rider" by Jimi Hendrix from First Rays of the New Rising Sun

• Joe Cocker
• Traffic
• Gladys Knight & The Pips

Notes
I finished up the last E song today and started the F's off with Otis Redding's "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)."  A fine start.
I found the three versions of "Feelin' Alright" to be rather interesting.  While Traffic's version is more straightforward, Joe Cocker's has the piano riff at the start which adds to the uniqueness of his version.  Gladys Knight's version is basically a cover of his cover.
There were some great "Fat" songs today (aside from Fat Albert):

• "Fat Bottomed Girls" by Queen
• "The Fat Man" by Fats Domino
• "Fat Man in the Bathtub" by Little Feat

I also got to crank up "Feel Like a Number" by Bob Seger, because it's a perfect anthem for sitting as a nameless cog in a giant corporate machine.
There was also some great instrumental guitar today:

• Three by John Williams (no relation to the Star Wars composer), all from Spanish Guitar Music
• "Fandango"
• "Fandanguillo, Op. 36"
• "Fantasia"
• Immediately following "Fantasia" was "Fantasia Suite" by Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco de Lucia from Friday Night in San Francisco.

More F's tomorrow...

Notes:
I'm one song away from finishing out the E's.  I just couldn't stay at work any longer tonight to hear the last one, so I'll finish them off tomorrow.  E turned out to be a pretty short letter.  My guess is that Q and Z will probably be the shortest.  Hard to tell until we get there...
I had a great power ballad moment back to back this morning, mostly thanks to a spelling error.  "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison led into "(Everything I Do) I Do it For You" by Bryan Adams.  Everything was actually spelled "Every Thing" on my iTunes, so it had the song in the wrong place.  That happened yesterday and today as well with a studio & live version of "Everyday is a Winding Road" by Sheryl Crow.  The studio version was spelled "Every Day..." and as a result, they were not played back to back, nor mentioned as a highlight.  Oh well...
Best song of the day was "Excitable Boy" by Warren Zevon.  It's a great song about murder, rape, and caging up a loved one.
Onto the F's tomorrow!

Notes
I merged yesterday and today for a couple reasons.  Mostly, I just ran out of time to update last night, and I wanted to close the D's out, but that didn't happen until today.  The other reason was the fact that I only got through 46 songs on Thursday, and one of those was the 38:44 "Drugs and Kittens I'll Drink to That" from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones that had a hidden track, featuring over 30 minutes of silence.  Very exciting to actually listen to nothing.  As a result, there wasn't much to highlight or comment on.
Not to be outdone, today I had "Echoes" by Pink Floyd from Meddle, which is 23:28.  At least there was some amount of sound for the full amount.  Strangely, it was followed by "Eclipse" from Dark Side of the Moon, which made for an interesting transition.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear "Ebony and Ivory" today.  I didn't even know I had it until it came on.  Great to hear that again.
D statistics coming soon!

Notes:
I got through all the "Downs" today and started in with the "Dreams."  My hope of finishing up the D's tomorrow will have to wait until Thursday, as I'm taking tomorrow off, but it won't be from staying up all night watching election coverage.
My first song finally appeared today.  "Down the Road" from my EP Ah, Semplice was in the "Downs."  The next one won't appear until the H's...  If you don't have a copy of my record, let me know.  We'll arrange something.
There were a couple great tunes today that I must make mention of:

• "Double Shot of my Baby's Love" by The Swingin' Medallions
• "Down in the Boondocks" by Billy Joe Royal
• "Down With Disease" by Phish
• "Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)" by Roy Orbison

Because of those and others, today was a solid, although somewhat short day.  See you Thursday!

 Notes
Finally closed out the "Don't" songs today.  There were 131 unique ones.  So far, that's probably the record (I'm too lazy to go back and actually look).  My guess is that songs that start with the actual word "I" will probably win.
Seven songs into today I heard "Don't Hit Me No More" by Mable John, which has some great lyrics:

I'm so sorry you had to slap me
'Cause you never done that before
But I'm so glad that man made a pass at me
I used to wonder if you loved me
Now that I know
Don't you hit me no more

Go download it.

Tomorrow we're going "Down" and we may get out of the D's.

Notes:
I forgot to update the blog on Friday afternoon...  But it was Friday and I had stuff to do.
The "Don't" songs are in full swing.  I should get through them on Monday, and likely wrap the D's up by Wednesday at the latest.
Had the classic Blue Öyster Cult "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" toward the end of the day.  A fantastic way to start Halloween weekend.  "You're gonna want that cowbell..."

Dirty Doctors Do!

Notes
I took yesterday off to listen to some CDs at work.  My brother gave me the "new" Dylan set - The Witmark Demos, which also came with a bonus disc of "Bobby" Dylan (it was announced that way on the recording) live at Brandeis University from 1963.  Tickets to that show were $4.40.
43 of 83 songs started with "Do." Tomorrow I'll get into the "Don't" songs, and that may run all day and even into Monday.
Got to hear three different opinions on Jackson Browne's "Doctor, My Eyes" today:

• Doctor Rhythm by the Dave Clark 5
• Doctor Robert by The Beatles
• Doctor Wu by Steely Dan

I think I'd go see Doctor Robert, given the choice.
Onto the "Don'ts" tomorrow!

Notes:
I made it past the 2,000 song mark today, closing the day with 2,022 songs.  So I'm still not 1/6 through the library yet (not including skips & holiday songs).
The last song of the day was appropriate for Halloween, but it was pretty terrible.  I really think some box sets are just crammed full of garbage. Another great Halloween song was played today.  "Desperation Samba (Halloween in Tijuana)" by Jimmy Buffett.  Since Halloween is on a Sunday this year, I'm glad I got a couple songs so close to the holiday.
There were also eight "Diamond"songs, which closed with "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" by Paul Simon.
The D's have been pretty fantastic so far.  Hopefully I get some good stuff tomorrow as well...  Because it's my birthday!

Notes:
Aside from "Darling Be Home Soon," there were two additional Lovin' Spoonful songs played today.  Both "Darlin' Companion" and "Daydream" ran today, so three total Lovin' Spoonful songs for the day.  Good stuff.
Starting the day out with "DangerZone" was great.  Seemed to be perfect for a Monday.  The highlight of the day, however, was "Day-O" by Harry Belafonte.  It's hard hear that and not sing along and smile.  Absoultely perfect for a Monday.
The absolute perfect song for today was "Dead End Job" by The Police:

I don't want no dead end job
I don't wanna be no number
The queue gets longer everyday
I just ain't no time to stay
I ain't gonna run away
All I want to do is play

That's Monday back at my desk...

Notes:
Farewell to the C's...
Out of the four versions of "Dancing in the Street," the only one worth listening to is the original by Martha and the Vandellas.  The other three are all horrible for one reason or another.
There were a few songs today that shared the same title but were completely different songs:

• "Crush"

• Alan Jackson
• Jimmy Buffett
• "Dance, Dance, Dance"
• The Beach Boys
• Steve Miller Band

I had to get through another ABBA song today.  Thankfully "Dancing Queen" will only be stuck in my head all weekend.  Painful.
The D's started off pretty strong with "D'yer Maker" by Led Zeppelin...  So far, so good for the D's.
Have a great weekend!

I ended up not listening to anything yesterday due to training at work and a mid-day ALCS game, so finishing the C's will have to wait until tomorrow.
I was unaware that I had eight unique versions of "Crossroads."  I knew there was a lot, but not eight.  That may be the record, but we'll have to wait and see how many versions of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" come up when I get to the K's.
21 "Crazy" songs took up a lot of the day, but it was a pretty solid day all around.
On to the D's tomorrow!

Notes
Short day today due to the NLCS game, but still a good day of music.  I didn't even realize that Rod Stewart recorded "Country Comfort."  Surprises like that are making this project even more fun.  I also haven't listened to the White Album in a while, and hearing "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill" today reminded me that I need to listen to it again soon.  Perhaps this weekend...
Short day again tomorrow - ALCS at 1:00PST and I'm doing some training at work, so I'm not too sure how much listening time I'll actually get in.  As a result, I may or may not get the C's wrapped up tomorrow.
