For my 2026 summer playlist, I had originally planned to do songs from the 1960’s, but then Jeannie came up with the idea to have seventy-six songs to celebrate America’s 250-year anniversary, with themes having to do with America and places in America.\u00a0 I found that idea more interesting, or at least more timely for this year, so I decided to help her by suggesting some songs.\u00a0 She got to 76 pretty fast, but there were a dozen or so songs I really wanted to include, so I made my own playlist, presented here.\u00a0 It’s actually a couple over the limit, but at this point I don’t want to cut any more songs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her rules are different than mine and don’t prohibit repeating an artist, so there are multiple songs by Billy Joel, Steely Dan, John Denver, David Lee Roth, and a few others. One could probably make a playlist of nothing but Billy Joel songs. Also no attempt is made to present the songs in chronological order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
