Only two songs so far and it's becoming clear we have similar tastes in music.

My special memory of the "Ventura Highway" song (which has 8 plays in my iTunes since 2013) is hearing it in my car as I drove up I-5 towards LA from Camp Pendleton back in the early 1980s. Just seemed like the perfect song to play while driving on a California highway.

Another easy listening hit from the same era that is a guilty pleasure of mine is "Me And You And A Dog Named Boo" by Lobo. Now that song really puts the "soft" into soft rock! Both songs have a bit of "Yacht Rock" feel to them but that's a subject for another post.

My #49 most played song happens to be "Dreams" by The Cranberries.

There’s still time. LOL.

It’s interesting that the song is about coastal California, but it’s not set in California — as evidenced by the reference to living in a place where “some people say this town don’t look good in snow.” I guess that’s another reason why the Wisconsin setting resonated with me.
