Earlier this week I said some days might have just 3-4 events tied to a date on the musical calendar, meaning just 3-4 songs. I also said other days might have 6-7, maybe a few more. Well, today we have … 15!
There are five birthdays on this date, four deaths, and we’re also celebrating the induction of six artists into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on this date in 1994. I have broken them down into three separate medleys.

Wow! An amazing mix of songs for today’s 3 categories. Loved them all, but the Hall of Famer’s certainly earned their places. Thanks for all your hard work putting these together for us. Have a great weekend.
Nancy, thank you so much for listening (as you always do) and for commenting … Hey, you always do that, too! 😉 I was worried there might be too many songs but I’m glad you didn’t seem to mind. Have a wonderful weekend! ❤️
Wow, is right! All of these songs have either changed our lives, made us smile, made us cry and filled us with so many memories! For that, I’m happy to remember all of them either through their birthdays, the date they left us and the date they were deservingly honored by the R &R Hall of Fame. I feel like you should be inducted to the RRHoF too because of your enormous contribution to music lovers who enjoy all that you do. 🙂
As I said to Nancy, I was concerned there were too many songs, but I guess it didn’t bother you, either. 🙂 I have been to the Hall of Fame … but I had to pay! I am glad you enjoyed them but here’s a warning: If you think today was a “wow” type of thing, just wait until next Tuesday! ❤️
Sorry so behind been dealing with some crap 🙁 great set of songs .. will be listening all week-end to get caught up. As always, you ROCK Ray!!
Thanks, sweetheart <3
