Oh god, there are times when I think I'm not going to find enough songs for a dumb theme - this week's being "the only one" - songs in which people talk about being someone's only one. After digging through my collection - over the past week - I found almost three hours of songs with the words "the only one" featured prominently.
Three hours? I need half that! What happens next? Oh, I'll tell you what happens next. I decide, let's narrow this down. I don't mean "narrow this down" to the best songs as I think they are - the three hours I had were all great songs - no, I decided to use one more filter in deciding what to play.
This is something I dream of doing from time to time: having an entire show feature all the songs with the theme as the title. I've only done this once, for a show back in 2010 with the theme "tell me." I was so proud of myself - 24 songs all called "Tell Me"! Too bad I did the show in West Virginia & no one heard it.
I came close to doing again recently - back in November, I did a show with the theme "wonderful" but didn't have enough to fill the entire show (I would have if the show were ninety minutes long, though).
The dream lives. I will try to only play songs with the theme's name as there title!
Will I be able to do it with songs called "The Only One"? Probably not - but I'm still whittling that list down for the show on Friday!

My wife just asked me, "Whatcha doing?"
I said, "Writing in my dumb blog."
She said, "Are you writing about how much you love me?"
Well, now I guess I am.
