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
  • "Ghost in this House" by Alison Krauss
  • "The Ghost of Tom Joad" by Bruce Springsteen
  • "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky" by Johnny Cash
Today was a really good music day,
