 Notes:
Today is the 20th day of my A to Z, and as of today I have listened to 1,602 songs.  Of the 110 songs I heard today, exactly half of them (55) started with "come."  It started with "Come a Little Bit Closer" by Jay & the Americans and ended with "Comes a Time" by Neil Young.
There was an additional "Cloud 9" by George Harrison as well as the one above, but it was titled with the digit 9, as well as being a completely different song.
I also got to hear the classic "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners.  Fantastic.
Short day tomorrow for NLCS Game 3...
