Welcome to another Battle of the Bands. I started the year with some rock anthem battles, then I settled into a jazz grove. In April I went with 50's rock and modern millennial pop before returning to jazz. What in the wide world of music am I going to select this time around? Let's do a famous nursery rhyme. Wait let's have two great guitarists perform said nursery rhyme.
Just in case you need a refresher on "Mary Had a Little Lamb" here is an example of the tune...
As you know I will present two contenders giving us their interpretation of this classic nursery rhyme. You my awesome readers and listeners tell me which one you like the best in the comments. My job is pretty easy I count up the votes like I am counting sheep and announce a winner in a week or so in a new post.
Contender One: Buddy Guy
Contender Two: Stevie Ray Vaughan
Which one did you like the best Buddy or Stevie? Let me know in the comments and I will see you soon!

This is no contest for me! I never had a little lamb - my older sister did. True story. It's Stevie Ray all the way for me!
I enjoyed Steve. most enjoyable.
They're about equal, so I'll vote for Buddy Guy...
Mike,
What a cool battle! I'm going with STEVIE RAY VAUGHN in the showdown.
Thanks for joining me in my BoTB on Saturday, my friend. Have a bandtastic week!!
This is one of the first songs I learned to play on the violin when I was in 3rd grade. Both of these versions are very different from my own childhood version--thank goodness for that!
Of these two I'm going with the smoother slicker sound of Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Pretty close, really. But I think I preferred SRV's singing a bit more so, give him one more BOTB bote, please.

No wonder they call you creative - a truly unique battle! Stevie Ray (if I may) for me.
This is a cool way to go with that little song and I give it to the great Stevie Ray because I just love his style and guitar playing.
