I started 2019 with a Battle Featuring JJ Cale's "After Midnight." It was a free form battle John Mayer, the original JJ Cale and Eric Clapton. Cale beat Clapton 4 to 3 and John went off to mind his business playing with Dead and Company.
Next up was my 99th Battle! So we celebrated with "99 Balloons." Sleeping at Last edged out Goldfinger 4 to 3 on the popular hit.
Battle 100 A Little Feat "Easy to Slip." I like Little Feat, Bob Weir was easy to add and irt was an interesting Battle adding Sandy Denny. Bob won 5 to 3.
Battle 101: Redemption Song. Life needs Bob Marley. Yannick Noah a basketball player slam dunks Stevie Wonder in this one.7 to 2 was the score.
Battle 102 : A Guitar battle featuring "Classical Gas." Great tune and two great guitarists Tommy Emmanuel verses Chet Atkins. Tommy won 5 to 3. One of my favorites!
Battle 103 we end March with a tie. Tin Turner versus Prince both covering Led Zeppelin where do I get these battles? It was a Whole Lotta Love.
Battle 104 April saw the start of A to Z and pull out ABBA. "Does your Mother Know" B'Witch versus Cher. B' Witch won 4 to 3.
Battle 105 April ended with The Rolling Stones "Mother's Little Helper" featuring Liz Phair and Eric McFadden. Eric won 5 to 4.
Battle 106 May with "Yesterday" featured Connie Talbot versus Marvin Gaye. 4 to 2 Marvin!
Battle 107 Stephen Stills classic "Love The One your With," Strange twists same to be my game. Luther Vandross versus The Supremes/The Four Tops. Luther won 4 to 3.
Battle 108 The Thirteenth Floors' "You're Gonna Miss Me" was my trippy selection. The Heard versus Jad Wio. The Heard won another close one.
Battle 109 from Psychedelia to Gospel. Ramblin' Jack Elliot versus Hot Tuna. Keeping it close Jack won 4 to 3.
Battle 110 Sheryl Crowe beat PP Arnold 3 to 1 for a Battle over Cat Steven's "The First Cut is the Deepest."
That brings us current through the first five years of Battles. Life turns, twists but the Battles rage on!
