Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Burt Bacharach's First #1 Song
From the August 18-24, 2013, American Profile Magazine "Ask American Profile."
The question from Janet Jones of Camden, NY was, "What was conmposer Burt Bacharach's first No. 1 hit song?"
Answer: "The Story of My Life," a number one song on the country charts for Marty Robbins in 1957 and the first of many hits for Bacharach and lyricist Hal David. You don't usually think of Bacharach writing country songs.
Bacaharach is now 85 and in May released his autobiography, Anyone Who Had a Heart: My Life and Music. He was born in Kansas City, Mo., and grew up in New York City. Married four times, he toured in the 1950s as musical arranger for Marlene Dietrich.
Sure Was Mighty Good To Dionne Warwick. --RoadDog
