Battle of the Bands: Flight of th Bumblebee

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov composed "Flight of the Bumblebee" for his opera  The Tale of Tsar Sultan.  I am using the piece for my Battle of the Bands. I'm switching gears to a different genre like I often do but I will be throwing in twists as well.

Contestant One: Jennifer Batton

Contestant Two: Gisha & Jerome

Contestant Three: Peter Luha

Three versions but the piece is short. Vote for the one you like the best in the comments! I will count them up and announce the winner in a week or so. Enjoy and I will be back soon!

Battle of the Bands:Sheryl won The First Cut

Sheryl Crow won my Battle of the Bands contest 3 to 1 over P.P. Arnold. Why did I pick P.P Arnold as a contestant? Well she has done backing vocals for Roger Waters, Peter Gabriel,  The Small Faces, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash to name a few. She also had a solo career. During her solo career she was the first to record a song by Cat Stevens called "The First Cut is the Deepest." So Sheryl Crow beat one of the First Cuts.


                                                    "My Favorite Mistake"

"Still the Good Ol' Days" with Joe Walsh

"All I Wanna Do"

I will be back with a new Battle in a few days!
