From Chicago XXXII: Stone of Sisyphus. Was originally to have been released in 1993, but was rejected by Warner Bros. Rhino finally released it in 2008. It's really great and would have been well received in 1993 had it been released then. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FykHNdDGu98

I never understood why this one was never released as a single. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjv2G6o4gDo

I absolutely loved reading everyone's recollections! I had read about Indy 500: The Simulation in Car & Driver back when it came out, but since I didn't have a PC, realistic racing was a pipe dream. I did spend extensive time on Bill Elliott's NASCAR Challenge on the NES and the few times I...

By 1984, MTV was so big that Ronnie Milsap wanted in on the action! This was an MTV exclusive and the single was released to Pop stations only, making Ronnie the first Country act to be played on MTV. It didn't fare well either place. Featuring a young Mariska Hargitay as the star, with...

A couple of years ago, 2 Smoky Mountain icons teamed up to rerecord a classic, Robbinsville, NC's Ronnie Milsap and Pittman Center, TN's Dolly Parton. Peaked at #27 on the AC chart. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m8UQlSZpCo

Here's Rosanne Cash, Johnny's equally talented daughter, with a song inspired by a Grammy snub which would, ironically, win here her first Grammy! Featuring a young Vince Gill on background vocals. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phWZ79VARuI

Eric Tagg again! This time on his own solo album, with Lee "Captain Fingers" Ritenour's guitar and production, with David Foster on keyboard and co-written of Bill Champlin of the then-rejuvenated Chicago on this smooth tune. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aClnjNSplfE

With a hit song that borrow riffs from the Doobie Bros., plus his bearded appearance (a la Michael McDonald), some has called Yacht Rocker Robbie Dupree "Robbie Doobie". IMHO that is an injustice, as I feel Robbie is very talented in his own right.

Mac McAnally narrowly missed the Top 40 in the Spring of 1983, peaking at #41 with a tune I refer to as "pure pop perfection". It would have been Mac's 2nd Top 40 (the only was "It's a Crazy World" in 1977, peaking at #37). Mac would go on to have a Top 15 Country hit and share a #1 with Kenny...

Reminds me of my old white 1964 Barracuda I had in high school (mid-90s), 273 with Pushbutton Automatic. Sadly, both my Barracuda and Dan are gone :'(

Ronnie Milsap had this hit in early 1983. It was the first #1 for a new songwriter: former NFL linebacker Mike Reid. Reid and Milsap would collaborate for many more #1s in the 80's.

I'm usually singing the chorus to this one when I I begin losing grip. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKV-8bnKRsU

One of my favorite Steve Wariner tracks. Peaked at #24 in 1993. The CD version (this one here) has an extended instrumental featuring a guitar solo by Steve. View: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=nznVfrSvY2k&feature=share

I find myself singing the chorus of this one while driving a car with a loose condition... View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKV-8bnKRsU

He was my cousin!

Back when TNN still existed, CMT was in its early days and actually played music videos, and Restless Heart ruled the airwaves...

North Carolina native Don Cox had a minor hit with this great tune in 1994, peaking at #54. It got a lot of airplay in East Tennessee. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=731QOF2ebg4

Yep! It's a 4x16 4-lane HO oval, with comptuer timing. Shaped similar to Trenton, with an inverted dogleg.

Working on getting slot car racing started around here again.
