One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recoded: “My Dad” by Paul Petersen!!!

For as long as I’ve been on the radio, and definitely for as long as I’ve been writing a blog, I will occasionally make a reference to a song being “One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded!” (GSER)

I would usually follow that by saying that I would eventually start a category for it, but then never get around to it.

Well, now I’m getting around to it!

My radio show, “Theme Attic,”  is on Wednesdays 12PM-4PM ET.

The show can be heard on WHFR 89.3 FM in the Dearborn-Detroit area of Michigan, or it can be streamed with this link: https://www.whfr.fm/streamer/!

The Greatest Songs will pretty much follow the pattern of The Most Awesomest Song of the Day.

I’ll select a song to celebrate and then give my thoughts about it. Nothing really brand new here that hasn’t been done before. But since I have a website, I can collect them and lay out what my own greatest songs are.

Here’s a link to have a look at “The Greatest Songs Ever Recorded”: https://philmaq.com/the-greatest-songs-ever-recorded/! Occasionally, an “awesome song” crosses over to become a “Greatest Song!”

Even though I always emphasize new music and artists, it’s always fun to take a short drive through the legendary artists, since they influenced those other artists!

But a song doesn’t have to be old or done by a legendary Theme Attic Hall of Fame member to be thus honored.

I can think of several songs that are only a few years old or less that I could identify as One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded.

This will be fun, and hopefully you will join me on my journey!

Another trip down memory lane for today.

One morning, I was awoken from my slumber to the sound of my older sister playing this record over and over on Father’s Day–probably a hundred times.

Paul Petersen played Donna Reed’s son on TV’s “The Donna Reed Show.”

The show wasn’t on my radar, (a little before my time), but I eventually learned that Shelly Fabares was very cute, and Donna Reed herself was also in that category at one time!

I don’t know if my Dad ever understood a single word of the song, but I like to think that he did.

Either way, it’s a beautiful sentimental song for all worthy fathers today!

The Most Awesomest Song of the Day is “My Dad” by Paul Petersen!!!
