Battle of the Bands Results: Vega tops Billy Strings 2-1 in Cassidy Battle

 Suzanne Vega won my last Battle of the Bands 2 to 1 over guitar master.  The Battle was a tip of the hat to Bob Weir. Anyway we celebrate winner here...

                                                "Luka"

Luka is probably her biggest hit.

"Tom's Dinner"

The next Battle of the Bands coming March 1st!

R.I.P Sonny Jurgensen

 I discovered Sonny Jurgensen as a teenager listening to Washington Redskins football games. He had become a broadcaster due to his stellar career with the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins.

                                                Highlights:

A championship with the Eagles in 1960, a member of the Eagles Hall of Fame, and the Redskins Ring of Honor and a NFL Hall of Famer.

He is an athlete from an error which probably belonged to my Father's generation, but past down his take of the modern game as a broadcaster. He will be missed by fans, friends and family!

Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl Champions

 Last night's Super Bowl proved the saying "Defense Wins Championship." The Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13,

The Patriots were shutout for three quarters. Teams will tweak their rosters in the offseason with the draft, trades and free agents. Some players will retire. Seattle will hope to defend their championship; New England will hope to challenge again. Stay tuned for the next season stating in August.

Battle of the Bands Results: Good Rockin' Tonight

 A song so good I forgot I had used it back in 2016. Here is a link. That one featured Montrose and Lemmy/Johnny Ramone.  January's battle featured Elvis against Link Wray. Link Wray won this Battle 2 to 1. 

As the tradition we celebrate winners here!

                                            Link Wray with "Rawhide"

"Rumble"

Stay tuned for February's results coming soon!

Battle of the Bands: Cassidy

 With the passing of Bob Weir, I thought it would be fitting to use a Grateful Dead song associated with him.

The song is Cassidy. Here is the Grateful Dead version...
