Five on Friday Set 92 and Five years of Trav's Thoughts

Posted: Friday, October 28, 2011 by Travis Cody in

There's a lot going on today.  We've got Halloween coming up on Monday.  We've got my 5 year blogiversary.  We've got Set 92.  We've got Peace Week about to begin, with Blog Blast Day exactly one week away.

Yowza!

So 5 years ago today I opened this blog.  From then to now I have published 1,642 posts, been visited 104,215 times, and received 21,608 comments.  I don't know whether that's good or bad.  But I send my thanks to all for hanging out with me over the years.

What music makes sense for a 5 year blogiversary?  I don't know.  I didn't know until it was getting pretty late last night and I was staring at a blank page.

Then I had a clever idea.  Well, I thought it was clever.

One, Three Dog Night
Two Divided by Love, Grass Roots
Gimme Three Steps, Lynyrd Skynyrd
Four Letter Word, David Cook
Five O'Clock World, Vogues

Get it?  HA!  I counted to 5 in music!

One, written by Harry Hilsson, as released by Three Dog Night, 1969


Two Divided by Love, written by Lambert, Potter, and Kupps, as released by The Grass Roots, 1971


Gimme Three Steps, written by Allen Collins and Ronnie Van Zant, as released by Lynyrd Skynyrd, 1973


Four Letter Word, written by David Cook, Claude Kelly, and Matt Squire, as released by David Cook, 2011


Five O'Clock World, written by Allen Reynolds, as released by The Vogues in 1965

    It's been an honor to call you friend through the years I've visited your site. Looking forward to more to come.

  1. Wow, Travis! Your blog is hoppin' right now!

    Love your one-two-three-four-five theme. Hadn't heard the David Cook song before and really enjoyed it. The Lynyrd Skynyrd rocks! But I have to go with the Harry Nilsson song as done by Three Dog Night - that's my fave this week.
