It's funny how things work out. I had never heard "One Way Ticket" by Eruption (posted earlier) until this past week. The lyrics mention "Lonesome Town" and "Heartbreak Hotel."

"Lonesome Town" was my wife's favorite song, she tells me, when she was nine years old.

So, just for my wife who never reads the blog, "Lonesome Town,"

Lonesome Town, Ricky Nelson
"Heartbreak Hotel": 1956
"Lonesome Town": 1958
"One Way Ticket" which mentions the two earlier songs: 1959 (B-side to "Oh! Carol")
